c54dec0ca2 Major overhaul of the FAQ. I've added several contributions
specially from Darryl Okahata. I've rewritten several URL to the proper
<url url="" name=""> tag. There is still room for improvement but it
should be closer to 2.0.5R now. I'll try to be faster for future updates...

2878e04a6f Start populating the handbook with useful cross reference targets.
All cross reference labels start with name of the file that contains
them.  A label for the top section level is simply the name of the
file (omitting the .sgml).  Other references within the file append a
colon and onother name.  For example, the label on the mailing list
section in the file eresources.sgml is eresources:mail.  This gives
each file its own cross reference namespace.
