 I'm starting to think we'll need a "FreeBSD Jargon" section of the FAQ
 soon.  We'd only really have four things to put it in for now though
 (MFC, repo-copy, bike shed, fairings) so I don't think it's worth it
 yet.  OTOH, the kernel config part only has four questions, so perhaps
 we could.

 I'd use &ldquo;...&rdquo; instead of "..."
 
 [I think that's right, it's either &[lr]dquo; or <quote>, not ".."
 anyway.  I think the last agreement was &[lr]dquo;.]

 Perhaps <emphasis>foo</emphasis> instead of *foo*, or something.  The
 FAQ isn't limited to ASCII text like email is. :-)
 
 Other than that, this should probably go in the FAQ soon.  I'll fix
 those minor things and maybe commit it soonish.
 
 /me adds it to TODO list.
