Instead of directly importing a reference into appropriate tooling, much cut/paste/edit/cleanup is required extract the mangled OpenAPI from the draft. 

This problem ist nicely solved by kramdown-rfc-extract-sourcecode.

Having URIs for what is extracted by that tool would be nice, but is not necessary to work with this tool.
