Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does it make a difference to people's opinions about schemes like this if the intent is that the scheme *could* be used outside of the framework of HTTP? In other words, would it be an acceptable excuse to say "sure 'ical' by default dereferences over HTTP, but that is just an implementation detail that is unimportant to the 'ical' scheme itself, since it sometimes uses UDP or other transports depending on context."
