There's a famous essay by Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the World Wide 
Web, entitled "Cool URIs Don't Change":

http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI.html

(I'm not sure if that's at the same URI it was at when first posted 
in 1998.)

Incidentally, the popular use of "URL" when that's long been 
deprecated in favor of "URI" by the "web standards geeks" parallels 
the similar continued use of the long-deprecated GMT abbreviation, 
usually referencing what is now actually UTC.
