For our internal documentation purposes, I'd refer having a perm link to a document that never changes.

Let's say we implement some feature based on Web IDL published as of today.  I'm going to refer that in my source code commit message.  Future readers of my code has no idea what I was implementing when they look at my commit message in five years if it refers to the living standard that changes over time.
