I think you're misunderstanding the intent.  I don't see any point in
making it part of the FAQ document itself.  I thought of it as a tool
to get people to look at the FAQ in the first place.

I would just keep a list of ten FAQ entries, and URLs for them.  I
could either make it a periodic posting or automatically put one of
the ten in my signature when I post to the -questions list.
