Not quite, no. Even though the IEFT could choose to use the tag uri for such purpose.

There is a dedicated URN Namespace for IETF Documents instead:

So, urn:ietf:rfc:2648 is actually correct.

The original purpose of the tag URI is to allow anyone to mint unique identifiers, without bothering with a central authority:

Used to be popular in the syndication world (RSS/Atom/etc).
