That section looks pretty good to me, so you have my apologies. Some of the sections are much worse, though. For instance, take a look at section 18 (Advanced), which is a little bit better than it used to be but still wrong in many areas. I asked about interest in updating the FAQ last April, and the response I got was that people would accept updates to it, but basically everyone wanted to focus on the Handbook. I assumed that this was because people preferred the layout of the Handbook as a better way to find information.
