This document is a strict subset of the HTML5 specification that omits user-agent (UA) implementation details. It is targeted toward Web authors and others who are not UA implementors and who want an informational view of the HTML specification that focuses more precisely on details relevant to using the HTML language to create Web documents and Web applications. Because this document does not provide implementation conformance criteria, UA implementors should not rely on it, but should instead refer to the full HTML5 specification.

BBC News - Are you experienced? Business and the web user experience
In the past, companies would simply slap information on a website — but today, with so much competition online, top destinations put a great deal of thought into making their products better.
As a result, designing online user experiences is now an important process for any company that is serious about the web, from huge names such as Google and Facebook all the way down to small businesses.
"User experience designers are the digital equivalent of architects," says Andy Budd, the managing director of web agency Clearleft, based in Brighton, England.

Zappos.com Redesign: Happy Cog
Zappos.com Redesign: Happy Cog: "The problem was that their business growth had outpaced the slowly-evolving aesthetic of their website. While the site enabled customers to make their purchases quickly, it didn’t capture and embrace the hallmarks of the Zappos.com culture. The site lacked the personality that customers were used to seeing with other company touchpoints."
I wanted to share this tidbit because not many companies really understand this vocabulary. Yes, appalling and true. Companies that can speak this language will be open for innovative design. Its amazing how draconian CEOs and companies adhere to what they have just gotten used to. They can cling to old designs and what has become comfortable. This is also an indicator of how the company does business. If you are a designer I think its important to use this design-speak and if it falls upon deaf ears, keep on walking.
