I think the following should answer your questions
http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-ftparchives.html#s-dists
Particularly 5.2 and 5.3

The symlink for stable will be changed to point to woody when woody is
released (ie becomes stable rather than testing)

Sid will always be the unstable dist because Sid was the name of the kid
next door that broke toys. (Debian dist names are based on characters in
toy story)
