Expert? Me? Nah...

I do, however, think that learning HTML before XHTML now is pretty much pointless. And I do believe all web developers should learn XHTML. Afterwards, learning HTML can provide an insight into how things work, how the language was designed and why things work the way they do.

Perhaps I phrased it wrong: for a newbie, this book is pointless. I wouldn't recommend a newbie pick up K&R either: I'd tell them to get C for Dummies (which I reviewed a while back), and then recommend it as a second or third C book.
