The Spec is pretty simple and easy to read, compared to other specs, IMHO. I guess it does not hurt to read it. We all are spoiled by these
IDE's which we use when writing code. I remember, when I was a student, I used jdk and a text editor to write code. I knew most of the api that I was using, but did not know many others. But nowadays using JBuilder, just type in the class name and it shows up all the api available! We might find many api's that we never knew existed. Has good N Bad in both ways, I guess.
