And at least two more issues: There is an entity for questions@, &a.questions;. But creating that address without using the entity is wrong, and gives a bad example. Also, that entity shows the email address as questions@FreeBSD.org, not freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org. Check out the bottom of each HTML Handbook page. Given all that, I'm going to remove the questions@ address and use notreal@example.com, unless someone can suggest something better.
