What you are proposing would be nice, but I think it is pretty much impossible to do well. My idea about this is that, as 2.0 starts to get used, we can resurect any FAQs that it turns out are still relevant. (Or, better yet, fix the documentation so that they FAQ won't be necessary.) I am hoping that depending on the 1.3 FAQ will be a short-term thing. Otherwise, this idea just makes things harder on users. Joshua.
