Yes.

The RDF Concepts draft [1] already talks about IRIs (almost) everywhere. It did already do that when I first put it online.

The RDF Concepts draft already calls that a datatype IRI.

No, a datatype URI *is* an RDF URI Reference in RDF 2004, and since we replaced that term with “IRI”, we will have datatype IRIs in RDF 1.1.

Retaining the term “datatype URI” around would be nonsense. They are not URIs. They never were URIs.
