FYI, I'll be glad to contribute to the FAQ and I'll send you some 
comments privately based on some of the problems I've been through lately.

Jirka, good idea and it's great to see that this is supported in the
stylesheets.  I have thought for sometime of modifying makefaq to 
support the DocBook <qandaset>, but it's overkill for what I needed
for the FAQs I was maintaining and that others are using.  And since
openjade/jade support it, there's little reason for me to do. Still,
it might be something I add at some point, purely for the exercise
of working with XML in python.

Regards,
Dan
