From experience with other generated files: it won't get used by
everyone who updates the faq, meaning that it's another thing that
somebody<tm> has to watch out for and fix it.

IMHO the only way to fix this is to convert the faq to some other
format that is used to generate a variety of output files (such that
the html files aren't stored in the repository, only the "input"
files, so there's no chance of getting it wrong). And *that* has
enough implications that I don't think it will work well either.

You're right, but I wish you weren't!
