Cool URIs Don't Change

Aptly named treatise describing why it should not be necessary for any URI to change.

This document argues for the feasibility and value of maintaining Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) indefinitely. It finds the both Universal Resource Names (URNs) and the familiar Universal Resource Locators (URLs) should remain the same (and in the case of URLs, resolvable) indefinitely, through good design and implementation practices.
