It doesn't. I seem to recall that last time I looked it had an average of
one serious error per paragraph.

W3Schools also tends to have errors - but far more subtle ones.

Also out of date. The code is a mix of HTML 3.2 and 4.01 Transitional. These
days you should generally be writing HTML 4.01 Strict (which discards most
of the legacy stuff CSS can now handle).

To be honest, I haven't found anything better then the specification. It's
rather dry and not written as a tutorial, but its accurate and the
information is hard to beat.
