I think there is some consensus on these issues. But I think you
framed it slightly misleadingly.

A URN is invariant, and points to the object, but dereferencing it may
depend on where you are, because a URN -> URL mapping is a one -> many
mapping, i.e. there can be many copies of a URN each with their own URL.
