Happy to!
A couple of quick points:
1. Your patch doesn't seem to apply to the latest FAQ. Please
update and regenerate?
2. Paths like "/extra/ralph/svn/www/project_faq.html" make it
*slightly* harder to apply the patch :-). Not a big deal, but
if you post with paths relative to the top of the trunk of the
Subversion source tree, that helps us a bit.
