Yes, those docs are generated from the release code. So when 3.4.0.3
comes out the site will change.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this. I assume its the [URL] entry
in the AddonHelper response syntax?

The old response syntax is still supported. That had a bare URL for
rewrite and a status:URL pair for redirect. That has been changed to
either a "status=N url=X" pair for redirect or a "rewrite-url=X" for
rewrite in the new syntax.
  AddonHelpers mentions the two syntaxes since it covers all supported
versions. The config manual only mentions the preferred syntax for the
latest version unless you drill down to older release series manuals.
