I said the specs were 'aimed' at programmers, not 'exclusive to'.
No, the spec is aimed equally to both authors and UA implementers.
I as an author became better at CSS by reading the specs. I as a CSS
tester became better in testing the implementations by reading the
specs. I as a CSS WG list contributor became better at giving feedback
on the specs by reading the specs.
I am not a programmer and I wouldn't know the first thing about building
a UA since I not even sure what web language or languages are involved
in the process.
