Go for it where possible. When not, then go for HTTP URIs via
TLS as per [1], or at least recommend experimenting with [1].
More generally, considering how [2] applies could well be useful
here. ([2] btw is an approved IETF document and is currently
in the RFC editor queue.)

I'm sure its known but all of this is nicely in line with RFC 7258
(already referenced) but also with the recent IAB statement [3]
which should also be a useful reference.
