Immutable meaning that the HSTS header is permanent and can never be removed?  
So if a user agent has seen an immutable HSTS header once, that site has to be 
(valid) HTTPS-only forever?

Interesting idea.

Anyway, the WebSec working group has been closed for several years now.  If you 
would like to extend HSTS, you should submit an individual draft (something 
with a name like draft-linder-hsts-immutable-00).

You can then discuss the draft either here or in the secdispatch mailing list 
(more technical discussion goes here; procedural discussion goes there).

You can also ask to present your draft at the meeting of the SecDispatch 
working group at the next IETF meeting (this July in Montreal, or the one after 
that: November in Bangkok). The purpose of the SecDispatch working group is to 
recommend what to do with new drafts - either spin up a new working group, or 
find an existing working group to work on this, or ask an Area Director to 
sponsor the draft as an individual submission.

Hope this helps
