That would be an interesting read.   Although does that
mean the full extend of URI scope.  Which includes
ftp, mailto, nntp, and I am sure I am missing a few others
that are resolvable through URI.

and does number 2 apply to those URIs??  So does that
expand the scope of the web to include protocols outside
of HTTP/S ??

May I ask in the REST principles a contributing factor to the
very real issue of a SOAP call over HTTP.  Since HTTP doesn't
maintain a connection if communications appears to drop out.
A RPC that takes more time than the communication timer
is allowed for and the connection is dropped. I suppose there are ways
around it. (write the client to periodically check for new info)

I appears to me that a RPC standard that relys on the disconnected standard
of HTTP would have some limitations.  (a certain limit in processing time of
a procedure for instance) Excuse me if these seem a little daft, but just my
observations.
