This is the big question.
Roy Fielding says that "http" URIs might identify anything, not just documents.
Tim Berners-Lee says that "http" URIs ought be reserved for documents, but that URI references which use HTTP URIs but which contain a fragment identifier, might identify anything.
So just looking at whether a URI reference starts with "http" is no good in EITHER case. Perhaps you have a third view. In any case there is no consensus for such a third view and there are lots of folks with positions stacked up against that (third) view. In any case you are going to have to articulate your view because I see no "FIRE".

You seem to be screaming "FIRE" but I look around and don't see one. I'm not sure I have anything more to say barring some more evidence of an actual fire. In any case no major "Semantic Web" player advocates using "urn" URIs or perhaps you and I have a different definition for the "Semantic Web" and hang around in different theaters.
