That address is meant to refer to the most recent version. Is there any
reason to suspect that there could be a problem with that now?
Currently, the latest version is indeed identified as dated January 2011:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/CR-wai-aria-20110118/

The page http://www.w3.org/TR/ lists all W3C recommendations and drafts,
though I would normally expect the drafts themselves to be more
certainly up-to-date as regards to the latest version. Anyway, at
http://www.w3.org/TR/#tr_Accessible_Rich_Internet_Applications__WAI-ARIA_
the information is the same regarding the WAI spec, more formally
"Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0". But there is a
separate draft on the role attribute from July 2012 and a draft WAI UA
implementation guide from August 2012. They might be called (drafts for)
ARIA specs, too, but "the" ARIA spec (Candidate Recommendation) is from
Jan. 2011.
