Premise 2 should be correct, as the previous FAQ was HTML, and was
digestified monthly, AFAIR.  I still vote for Texinfo, as it is
compatible with the GNU documentation[1], and because it's simple
enough for our needs.

My syllogism was answer to Steve's point that we must be able to
convert every FAQ format to digest.  Regarding that, both Texinfo and
LaTeX qualify.

Under GNU documentation I don't mean only GNU Emacs, but the whole of
the GNU project, and much other free software.
