ah, ok, that's one less confusion for me ;)  Will you file it in the 
appropriate place or should i?

https://developer.mozilla.org is resetting connections for me right now, 
but the google cache of the page seems to be working.  Thanks for the link!

The text on this page now has me wondering about the relationship 
between mozilla's idea of "frozen" and the "stable" and "unstable" 
include directories and idl files, though.  Does "frozen" align with 
"stable"?  Or are those different concepts entirely?

Thanks pointing me in the right direction, Mike.
