I will use W3C docs when root canals and anesthesia free heart-surgery are my alternatives, otherwise...

Not only that, lots of the alternative doc isn't very good.

It is for one up to date, two more complete and three only sometimes too bad (perhaps once you become familiar). So given you are getting two of the three as good as they come it has to compare favorably with anything but good or better books and documents.

Don't forget "four, the published standard." Whatever the W3C publishes, warts and all, is the standard.
