Stable is Woody for now.  Testing is Sarge for now.  I don't have a
clue what name will be assigned to Testing when Sarge
moves to stable. Unstable is and always shall be Sid. Experimental is
something that appeared last year.  I don't know exactly how it fits
into the picture.

Lots of people -- including many Debian users -- have this hangup
about Sarge needing to move to stable RIGHT NOW IF NOT SOONER!  My
advice: ignore Woody.  Point your sources list to Testing (not sarge,
testing!) and get on with your life. Testing is rock solid.
