This is a reasonable conclusion to come to.  Indeed the MODS developers 
came to the same conclusion initially as well.   But then I and a 
couple of other people pointed out that a uri is a location too; or at 
least it can be thought of in such a way.  A DOI is an identifier that 
can resolve to a location (a url), is how I'd tend to think of it.

Still, I agree this isn't anything critical now.  I'm just throwing 
these ideas out there for you to consider now; not necessarily to 
resolve them all at once...
