One aspect that I believe affects my reading of the spec is: being a Linux-user makes me much more aware of (or affected by) availability of font names listed in font-family declarations. If 90% (or so) of all webpages are authored by Windows users, then a Linux-visitor of those webpages would be more/often affected by non-availability of font names listed in those font-family declarations. So, this may subconsciously influence the reading or understanding of the spec statements.
