This is based on a misunderstanding about URIs. They identify resources, not characteristics of access to those resources (such as security). AWWW and other documents are clear on this. Existing confusion in some users should be rectified, not entrenched, lest I formally object. My request that the spec doesn't go for the latter (specifically, removing "an https URL was used" from the definition would resolve the issue) still stands.
