I think once we get beyond Last Call I agree, but for earlier Working Drafts
it can be a lot of work with little benefit -- design documents and
extensive notes in the draft seem to me more useful at that stage.

By the time you get to Candidate Rec, though, a spec is starting to
get a fledgeling user community, and tutorials are more useful.

But I'd welcome other opinions.  I'm not averse to pushing for
more tutorials within the XML Activity at least, but maybe we
need more documents aimed at writers, journalists and implementors?
