I'd say that having FAQ under version control is actually a good thing,
so I support the idea of moving FAQ source inside the repo.

Yes, I am one of those people.
Besides unnecessary extra traffic, it is not a very clean solution.
How is Subversion Book hosted? Perhaps the same hosting would be good
for TSVN docs?

Another consideration is a site's user interface.
tortoisesvn.net has nice, clear and consistent interface
(except for issuetracker, but the latter is used very little compared
to other projects).
I think that tigris UI is far from ideal and moving parts of site to it
will make overall user experience worse.
Of course, nothing is worse than the dead server,
so if problems are really severe, by all means go for it.
