Well, it's always been my feeling that /usr/src/share/FAQ/Text should
go away utterly and the handbook and related SGML documents should all
be optionally formatted into ASCII versions in /usr/share/doc
someplace.  Then if you want to pull the "formatted copyright" out of
that you can easily do so without necessarily incurring the overhead
of keeping an ASCII version around all the time.

No question.
