I'm +1 on this, but would be fine if the WG doesn't want to change. Graham's wording is more useful to an implementer who wasn't on the mailing list last year (or was on and skipped over the permathreads).
Well, it seems silly to use a dereferencable scheme if you don't want the URI dereferenced. Secondly, I fail to see how dereferencing a URI would cause interop problems.
