Therefore, unless for some reason you want to omit @scheme, I
see no need to use IRIs for @term.
I agree that @scheme seems pretty useless as it is defined in the
specification. Luckily, if you avoid using @scheme, and you use IRIs for @term,
you can avoid worrying about it.
It's not useless; it's useful for quantification over a set terms (that
is, "for all terms in the scheme X, Y holds true"). That's it's not good
for denotation, sure; it wasn't designed for that.
