Interesting.  I was thinking of suggesting that the main CRM Linked Data 
resource adopts exactly this approach.  Linked Data identifiers are 
meant to be persistent, as far as possible, and we saw this week that 
random decisions by ICOM editors have led to changes in element and 
property labels.  With the current strategy, these changes will have to 
be propagated into the Linked Data URLs, making the CRM as bad as 
dbpedia when it comes to stability of URLs over time.  (In Wikipedia, 
anyone can change the title of a page to help disambiguate it.  When 
they do, the corresponding dbpedia URL has to change.)
