Instead of policing a refined design could help (for use cases that are worth the additional effort) - As unique identifiers URNs may be cooler than URIs because they don't mix up naming and access protocol. Expect more protocol changes/variety to come than just a switch from HTTP to HTTPS, even if it takes some time. - Vanilla DNS is a mediocre base for URI namespaces, because DNS governance allows re-assignment of domains. We need top-level domains that assign domain names only once.
