Your citation supports my point. The question of "dereferenceability" only arises in the context of Linked Data.

See the RDF recommendations:

http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#h3_referents

"Perhaps the most important characteristic of IRIs in web architecture is that they can be dereferenced, and hence serve as starting points for interactions with a remote server. This specification is not concerned with such interactions. It does not define an interaction model. It only treats IRIs as globally unique identifiers in a graph data model that describes resources. However, those interactions are critical to the concept of Linked Data [LINKED-DATA], which makes use of the RDF data model and serialization formats."

It's perfectly legitimate to produce RDF using non-HTTP URIs and people have been doing it for many years. It's also perfectly legitimate to publish such RDF on the Web, and people have been doing that, too. But it's not Linked Data in the sense in which TBL used the phrase, or at least, not very good Linked Data. It's when we turn from the graph (RDF) to the distributed graph (Linked Data) that using HTTP URIs becomes so interesting, because HTTP is highly scalable and allows us to distribute the graph very widely and robustly.

URNs are by definition URIs, but in the semantic web context only http URIs are used for subjects and predicates (although, beyond the "use http URIs" statement by TBL, I don't see an absolute restriction in the RDF documentation).

If that is the case, then it is essential that no URIs are used as objects of that predicate.
