That's primarily an protocol issue which LDAPbis should address.
However, I note that this I-D should say that it does not address
use of non-LDAP URIs and hence the paragraph in question should
be rewritten. I suggest:
Other URI schemes MAY be used so long as all operations returning
referrals based upon the value could be performed. This document
does not detail use of non-LDAP URIs. This is left to future
specifications.
All values of a ref attribute MUST point to services which are
equally capable of handling operations referred to these services.
