Basically for consistency with the rest of the platform (starting with CSS's url() form). I can't keep track of what URIs are called these days. First it was URLs, then URIs, then there were URNs and shortly after that the correct term was URLs again, then URL was obsolete altogether and URI was the right term; then we had IDN and IRIs, and more recently we've started having XRIs... Whatever. Authors don't need this.
