Should the OGC-NA deprecate all registered HTTP URIs and register their HTTPS URI equivalents?

I assume would depend on what deprecation means in a practical sense, but my feeling is NO. Identifiers should be persistent.

We use/advocate HTTP URIs primarily as identifiers, (with the added benefit that MAY resolve to something); though web systems may allow resolution of HTTP URIs to resolve to HTTPS versions, the HTTP and HTTPS versions are not the same identifier (or string).

We have embedded these persistent identifiers in our applications and data, and any direct lookup for such an identifier in our data where an HTTPS version of a URI is passed instead of an HTTP version would fail.
