This is a pretty persuasive argument, IMO. There is always a natural profile of what is supported by most implementations; that shouldn't necessarily constrain the specs.

Yes and no. Does the Atom spec require that an Atom processor support http? Maybe it does. Does it require that any other uri scheme/protocol is supported? I think it doesn't. Does it require that all http uris always resolve? No, it just can't, because of network reality. So I guess there is some slack for some implementations, although of course we wouldn't like them to use that slack.
