I don't recall the context in which this document was produced; http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/identify but I wonder if the TAG could at least come to concensus on one small part of it; "In any context that allows a URI, any URI may be used. It is an error to say that only URIs of a specific scheme are allowed in a certain context." (note that TimBL has said the same thing[1]) If so, then I suggest that the TAG can resolve httpRange-14 by saying that since HTTP accepts a URI(*), it accepts any URI, and therefore the range of HTTP is all resources (including cars, documents, and yes, even me 8-).
