Thanks for the corrections, vin.  Speaking of maintenance, I think we
need to decide in which format we should keep the FAQ.  The decision
is obviously a choice between HTML and Texinfo.

HTML pros:
- Looks nicer;
- Easy to put on the web, with lots of links.

Texinfo pros:
- In compliance with the rest of XEmacs and GNU documentation;
- Can be converted to HTML automatically (the reverse is not so easy);
- Better suited for documentation (we can add indices and stuff);
- Easier to print as a manual.

What we definitely *not* want is to have two different documents, with
the need for this kind of synching.  Since texi2html conversion is
trivial (albeit maybe not as fancy as the original HTML would be), I
vote for Texinfo.

andreas, what do you think?
