As an added bonus, the specification actually reads quite nicely, and if
you snatch the text format, prints *very* nicely on a dot-matrix at 12
CPI.  :)

I keep a copy handy for my work.

It's also not a bad idea to read the HTML 4 spec as well.  XHTML hasn't
gained in popularity *quite* so much yet, and do keep in mind that if
you're developing using CSS that there are many, many, MANY quirks to
it: Mozilla and Firefox are mostly compliant, for example, but MSIE
isn't (at least with CSS 2).  You will find that it's a constant
headache if you have to develop for both...
