The spec is not meant to be used by application programmers, under normal circumstances. A "programming guide" is for that purpose. The absence of a programmer's guide is not the faultof the spec.
I see you point, but the layered design of CLIM makes it hard to distinguish between an advanced application programmer and a CLIM implementor. That is probably also why CLIM user manuals tend to turn into the spec after just a few chapters.
Take care,
