Indeed, if it's important to have the URIs not be dereferenceable, tags
URIs (RFC 4151, which I co-wrote) are a fine choice.  On the other hand,
it's often very useful to provide information about the identified
thing, via URI dereference, so I strongly recommend using an HTTP one,
even though it can feel like like a strange approach.
