I'm sorry, I don't agree. /Initially/, the user will need a book (or a tutorial, but good well-written books such as Dave Raggett's HTML 4 or Bert Bos & Hakon Wium Lie's CSS are far better, IMHO, being written by people deeply involved in the design process and decision making), but once the user has assimilated all he can from the book, he /needs/ the specification to which to refer whenever he needs to be certain of the exact letter of the law.
