Any risk is with the data being referred to, not the reference.  We can 
say that.

That really can't be helped because some of the underlying systems 
involved may not support TLS.  Integrity must be handled at different 
layer, and if confidentiality is important, that will have to be 
expressed there as well.  This really is an operational reality.  Again, 
this is a discovery mechanism that describes how to locate the data and 
what protocols to use.  We are not specifying the protocols or formats.
