The suggested wording is better, so +1

That is to say that a URL is expected to resolve to an actual resource, which can be retrieved from the host. A URI, on the other hand, may also be a URL, but it does not have to be; it may refer to something that has no retrievable representation.

It is therefor ideal that predicate URIs identify LDPRs with representations that are retrievable. LDP servers should at least provide [RDF-SCHEMA] representations of these predicates where possible.

In this case, you typically have no control over the result when attempting to dereference the URI. For this reason, publishers who wish to make their vocabularies useful for linking data should strive to provide a retrievable representation of the properties their vocabularies define. Consequently, implementers are also expected to use this standard as a benchmark for which to judge the efficacy of a vocabulary's use for linking data.
