Indeed, especially since at the moment HTTP URIs will cost you at least 5 
cents a piece, whereas non-HTTP URIs may go for as little as 2 cents each!

In any case, the most practical non-HTTP URIs that are in use at the moment 
seem to be LSIDs and DOIs; both have an associated resolution protocol...
