In other words, it's possible to throw *you* to the wolves and to slip the
whitespace changes in while they're distracted? :-)

That's another problem with the current FAQ: We need a set of rules or
requirement for new entries. Somethink like:
- Submit a complete, sgmlizied entry or
- submit plain text and find a brave soul to sgmlize it
- Follow the formatting rules defined in Chapter 10.1 of the FDP
- Supply a usuable anchor for your entry. In that case, we'll need some
  of kind of organisation for the anchors (i.e. the anchor for a question
  in the ppp chapter must start with ppp.)
- Review by a natural speaker, especially for people like me (who commit[1]
  english instead of speaking or writing it)

In that case, he'll just love one of my current projects... <veg>
BTW, what's the maximum number of characters in a single line?

Sounds like a good idea.
