Does http (by itself) meet the grammar of a non-fully qualified domain name?

I don't even know what 'non-fully qualified domain name' means. IMO, domain names are fully-qualified, otherwise they're meaningless.  At best, a 'non-qualified' name is only meaningful relative to some local context, and IMO relative domain name lookups have always been a Bad Idea.

And if you search through various RFCs with ABNF specifications, you'll find lots of nonterminal symbols for which a sequence of any four alphabetic characters is a match.  So what?

It's hard to escape the impression that you're trying to trick people into saying something that they probably don't intend, because you won't explain why you keep asking these vague questions.
