I caught myself studying the HTML 5 specification tonight and had to comment on section 1.7.1 (shown below):

1.7.1 How to read this specification

This specification should be read like all other specifications. First, it should be read cover-to-cover, multiple times. Then, it should be read backwards at least once. Then it should be read by picking random sections from the contents list and following all the cross-references.

It is nice to see that a few authors out there have a sense of humor. If I am going to spend my Friday night reading a specification, I would like it to have a little bit of humor in it :-)
