Yes, https://github.com/Matroska-Org/matroska-specification is afaik the
best version of the spec since it's the one that's going to be standardized.
The website should eventually get synced with it, though.

4 is a new value added to the element recently, which works in a backwards
compatible way as demuxers should consider anything above 3 as "unknown"
anyway, as per the spec guidelines.
