What are the latest HTML and CSS specifications officially recommended by the W3C for web development?
I've searched through various sites, W3C included, Only to find Outdated sorces, Or a jumbled goose chase through W3's Site.

I don't believe the W3C issues official guidance on which of their specifications you should use but:
The most recent HTML recommendation is 4.01. (HTML 5 is a candidate recommendation).
The most recent XHTML recommendation is 1.1, but further work on XHTML has been rolled into the HTML work.
The most recent complete CSS specification is 2.1, but CSS 3 consists of various different specifications which reached various different stages of completeness. Some of them are at recommendation level.
In practical terms, you should concern yourself more with browser support then the blessing of the W3C.
