My opinion would be no. Just like any web resource, the object identified by a particular URL could change over time (e.g., same ID, new version). That said, we could make immutability a rule if we thought it was beneficial. Were you thinking immutability would be a positive or a negative?

Thank you.

I like this approach on several levels but it does rely on the
implementer to ensure the immutability of the object referenced by the
URL, doesn't it?
