I do not know a way to mint two URIs (IR+NIR) in a way that is less "painful".

If - like Hugh suggested - httpRange-14 is really stopping people inside the
community from delivering solutions and those people are willing to sacrifice
the IRs (although I find both of this hard to believe) - then you have good
reasons to go ahead.

But this makes me think about what those same people will be unable to deliver
because they cannot make the default IR assumption any more (as I said, the
rest of the world will probably go on making it).

Perhaps the default IR assumption be saved by saying that a 200 URI <X> is a 
IR as long as we don't find some triple at X that suggests otherwise. Why not a
NIR class ? If the concept of IRs/NIRs is sufficiently unambiguous to talk
about it in natural language (I think it is), we can talk about it in RDF.
