Wouldn't latest point to the stable distribution, 0.20.5?

In principle, both. These names could certainly be applied to the
download directory, and we could use them also in the documentation.
It is a bit debian-like. Everything has a real name and a symbolic
name (more a role name).

Are you talking about the documentation or the download directory now?

I should have browsed a bit further. fop and batik already use
current, as do several other projects in the xml subdirectory.

I had a look at some other Apache projects:
cocoon: latest
excalibur: current
jakarta-struts: current
lucene: current
jakarta-regexp: current
james: current
logging/log4j: latest=1.2.12, unstable=1.3alpha7
rivet: current
tomcat: 5.0.30beta = link to 5.0.30
ws-jaxme: current
I propose the following:
unstable is a link to 0.90
0.90alpha1 is a link to 0.90
current is a link to 0.20.5
The links appear as directory names on the distribution servers and on
the web site, as Unix soft links or as empty directories with
redirection.

When I visit a site with software, I expect the name latest to point
to the latest stable distribution. The latest unstable distribution
could be named something like development, unstable, testing or next.
The file latest/.htaccess points to fop/0.20.5, and I think that is
best.

A matter of definition, I guess. :-) Maybe we should really write
[0.90alpha1] instead of [Latest] then. Care to do that? Or what do you
prefer?
