We have to keep in mind that Editors inside W3C are not usually 
people who have a 5 years experience on writing specifications for 
W3C. They are hardly technical writer.

Many people who start to write a specification are new people at W3C 
or even at writing such a document. So the audience is the one you 
said, but we have to teach them in simple words and clear concepts, 
if we don't do that, we will loose our audience even before they 
start writing the spec.
