I think that's a bad idea. I've never met an identifier that couldn't
benefit from being dereferenceable. As the first TAG finding said;
"o URI's for important resources should be dereferencable.
o Dereferencing URI's for important abstract concepts (for example,
Internet protocol parameters) should return human and/or machine
readable representations that describe the nature and purpose of
those resources."
