I think that's a bad idea.  I've never met an identifier that couldn't
benefit from being dereferenceable.  As the first TAG finding said;

  "o URI's for important resources should be dereferencable. 
   o Dereferencing URI's for important abstract concepts (for example,
     Internet protocol parameters) should return human and/or machine
     readable representations that describe the nature and purpose of
     those resources."
