_If_ we introduce the concept of "?" to the "Introduction" page, then I'd 
prefer the former.  However, _do_ we want to introduce the "?" concept at 
this basic level?  The example record is meant to be "demonstrative" more 
than "realistic" in order to convey the big picture of SPF, not so much 
the details.  One could argue "include:" to be an unnecessary detail, too, 
though (and I wouldn't even be against removing the "include:" from the 
example).

What do others think?
