No, adding such a URI scheme wouldn't change at all the way contributors 
contribute.

However it would further degrade the impact of the "bad practice". 

I put "bad practice" between quotes because if it is considered good practice 
to try to keep IDs when editing because it's easier to retrieve history when 
trying to understand each other edits, it's not mandatory.
