Not true. You could just require that non-HTTP schemes be used.

Re the users of the Web, to test this theory, I asked some handy regular users of the Web who don't know much about the Semantic Web if it would be reasonable to give a URI to a car. They seemed to take the position that it would be a silly thing to do, but you could do it.
