None of the IRI-s _defined_ in the WA spec are necessarily HTTP URIs. 
The fact that there are no such cases in the examples is not really 
relevant.

 Specifications? (I'm not able to find the informational keyword in 
any of the documents)
And I do not see any reason why we should define that in the spec. It 
is actually a nicety that I would _not_ want to see in the Model 
document; we made a lot of effort to make the document palatable to 
lambda Web Developers, and that would work against that.

I already gave this example: it is perfectly conceivable that a model 
implementation (akin to Hypothes.is, for example), uses the RDF model 
in its implementation, hence would use IRI-s in the relevant triples, 
but would not expose the annotation structures directly and hence 
would use URN-s, as a matter of convenience, as IRI-s for the 
annotation.
