That is the internet draft for the HTML 2.0 specification you have there.
The 03 merely means that there have been two other revisions of the text
of this document recently. If it gets changed again, that 03 will become
an 04.

Correct.

I don't think there is an internet draft for 3.0, that would be a little
premature when 2.0 is not nailed down yet.
The term `internet draft' has a rather precise meaning. Something only
gets to be an internet draft once it is discussed to death and people
are mostly happy about what it says. It does not mean an early version
of a document, as the ordinary use of the term draft would imply.
There is documentation on the experimental HTML 3.0 at
