A lot of people expressed the need for documentation about how to read specs. Some specific things were how to understand what different parts of the spec mean, and how to navigate the spec

Some of this information is within ECMA262 itself:
- Section 4 gives an overview of the language, defines terms, and describes how the specification is organised.
- Section 5 explains how to read and interpret the lexical/syntactic grammars and the spec algorithms.
- The introduction gives background info about how the spec grew over time and became what it is today.
