http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm 

is a gateway page that will always contain links to both the HTML and PDF version of the latest edition.  That might be most appropriate for a ""latest edition" reference.  But I would think that normative reference to specific specification subclauses need to be edition specific as both the subclause organization and the actual normative text is subject to change from edition to edition.  If you tried to link to the "latest edition" at a granular level you would have no guarantee as to what you were actually linking to.
