In general, when writing documentation about software, you have to ask your self "what if the user downloaded 0.9?" or "what if the user downloaded 1.1?" How do you know what other docs someone might have written, that might have led the user to have downloaded one version or another? So the doc's author was probably trying to be general, expecting you to know what to do. Some people won't though.
Perhaps some more specific wording like "replace 'clojure.jar' with the version of Clojure that you have downloaded." might be of help with those edge cases. Welcome to Clojure!
