Unless you make some crazy farm or use /give, you're not going to get heads like a piece of diamond armor or something. I think their rarity justifies infinite durability.

Sure would make the nether a hell of a lot easier. I hate those damn wither skeletons.

Wither skeletons would need to be the exception to that, the heads are far too easy to get :p Maybe wither skeleton heads obtained via a large creeper explosion could be different than the normal ones though
Wither skeleton heads are still pretty hard to get. I think it would be balanced fairly.

So if you get one no skeletons attack you anymore? Farming them would be way to easy then.

Yeah, I do want to change it in the future so that attacking a friendly mob temporarily removes the effect, so you can't slaughter everything with no consequences.
To clarify, though, the wither skull only makes wither skeletons passive, not normal ones.
You should seriously suggest this to mojang. When you think about it, pumpkins almost already do this for endermen, although wearing pumpkins suck because you can barely see. But if you hit the endermen they will attack you. So if mob heads just made that specific mob neutral to you that would work very well and would make sense. And it basically already exists with pumpkins and endermen.
going to guess you're using teams to prevent the player from being attacked?
Very nice concept, makes it compatible for Multiplayer as well, which is always a bonus :)

Simple command block creation that actually gives a use to mob heads. It works with zombie, skeleton, creeper, and wither skeleton heads. Even mobs wearing a given head will be friendly with that mob in the event of a conflict.
Pretty cool effect, I'd say. My next goal is to make endermen and other mobs drop their heads, and have them work with the system as well. Next next goal is to make it so damaging a mob temporarily suspends the effect.
Should be noted that this isn't restricted to 1.9 because this feature was introduced in a 1.8 snapshot.
A difference with 1.9 is the Shulker being unique, as they will target non-teammates if they are placed into a team. This doesn't occur with other mobs (yet).
And one other thing is the ability to create a mob that is placed into a team automatically with the "Team" tag:
/summon Creeper ~ ~1 ~ {Team:"TeamName"}
That data is only read from, not stored onto the entity, so it can't be tested for directly after-the-fact (minus the use of target selectors and the 'team' parameter).
Sadly recording is currently difficult. Don't have a computer capable of recording and running Minecraft at the same time. Otherwise I definitely would've liked to get some info out from the snapshots, but I'm sure most of it's been covered by now.
I would like to say that this can help in hunger games or hide and seek. Sometimes mapmakers ignore dark areas and make them hiding spots. Googlies spawn in dark areas though so its perfect for multiplayer games. In hunger games, you can probably hold nothing while hiding behind tall grass so that you can fool someone into thinking you're a mob. Pretty Cheeky, don't you think?

For how hard heads are to get, I agree with others that this should be an actual effect. Really cool concept.
Out of curiosity, would it still work if 2+ players wore the same head at once?

I've always wanted this to be an actual feature.
EDIT: Would it be possible to make them neutral instead of passive? So that if you attacked one, they'd fight back.
