I think it's just a different use of the word "stable" (i.e. the dated 
versions of the spec are stable in that their contents don't change, and 
"Latest Stable Version" is a link that resolves to the most recent one 
of these).  I'm happy to change the wording to avoid "stable" if it's 
confusing, though.

That URL won't always be to a draft, so I'm not sure "Latest Published 
Draft" is exactly the wording we want.  At some point 
http://www.w3.org/TR/WebIDL/ will resolve to a Recommendation, at which 
point previous documents that state "Latest Published Draft" would be 
inaccurate.  "Latest Published Version" would work for me.  (To avoid 
confusion with the "Previous Version" link directly underneath it, I 
might list the "Previous Published Versions".)  Does that work for you?
