Chris, I'm finding a great value in reading the w3c specs while working on a current project. A few other resources are also helping me advance my understanding of XHTML/CSS: the book 'The Zen of CSS Design', alistapart.com and several other websites. Looking at work from other developers and this list is also helping a lot. I often copy code posted here into files and reverse-engineer it to see why something works and/or what breaks it.
The time spent is definately proving worthwhile. My code is becoming even more logical and much cleaner than before. I take a lot less shortcuts and usually end up replacing old shortcuts with newer, more compliant ones. The specs are solidifying my understanding of what 'compliance' is... Mind you, I haven't read them front to back. Just whatever applies at the time or what interests me.
