I am afraid this needs more work.  For one, there seem to be a lot of
changes where a paragraph started with " -" which was removed.  I have
the feeling that the " -" had a purpose, at least originally.  I don't
know what it is, though, so this needs investigation.

Furthermore, there are a lot of gratuitous changes, like paragraph
refilling.  This makes the patch totally unreadable.

There are places where things are changed from

{MB} No.

to

{MB} Yes and no.

Sorry, but you can't simply change what I said :) At the very least,
the authors name tag has to be added to the list, like {MB, XY}.  This
is not necessary for obvious errors and corrections, but certainly for
larger (semantical) changes.

I also have content issues, from a first glance, but I am not feeling
like going into them with the formal problems above.  It could be a
good idea to have different changes in the FAQ submitted as individual
patches.

Thanks,
Marcus
