What, if anything, can be concluded about what they denote? The http-range-14 rule provides an answer to this which seems reasonably intuitive. What would be your answer? Or do you think there should not be any 'default' rule in such cases? 

Exactly.
For example, To take an arbitrary one of the trillions out there, what does 
http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/world/readfile?fk_files=2372108&pageno=11
 identify, there being no RDF in it?
What can I possibly do with that URI if the publisher has not explicitly allowed me to use it
to refer to the online book, under your proposal?
