From ALA: some paragraphs from 'Fixing Your Site with the Right
DOCTYPE'[1] by Zeldman:

"W3.org is not A List Apart, WebReference, or Webmonkey. It's not
intended to help web designers, developers, and content folks get up to
speed on the latest technological recommendations and practices. That's
not its job. W3C does publish a series of tutorials, though most web
developers are unaware of it. Mainly, though, W3C.s site houses a
collection of proposals, drafts, and Recommendations, written by geeks
for geeks. And when I say geeks, I don't mean ordinary web professionals
like you and me. I mean geeks who make the rest of us look like Grandma
on the first day She's Got Mail(tm)."
