An old version can be referenced with &oldid=... Is there a way to find the 'oldid' for the current version, so that one can reference the version as it is now, with the guarantee that it will be the same in the future?
Not yet. The current version of the software doesn't assign an 'old_id' for the current version (basically because there is a seperate store which contains the current version of every page, so there is no need for one). Hopefully, this will be addressed in an up-coming release.
See also http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268 and http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181 (the second one has some handy workarounds available with the new version 1.4, which is almost finished, and already running on some wikis).
