That would be my expectation, unless otherwise stated...

Also true, though I imagine that this could be prevented by doing some
locking if that sort of all-encompassing immutability is a desirable
property.  I'm not sure that's highly important, given the likelihood
of this occurring being on par with other sorts of changes
(corruption, etc...) that an application would have to deal with.
