Just a minor nit pick, not meaning to sound anal, but I find it hard to
accept a news group's FAQ as a concret authority of Math. It may be an
authority of the nes group it elf (guidelines, etc), and maybe perhaps,
since you're refering to a math news group, it can hold some weight in
FAQ questions, it cannot possibly take presidence over publichsed and
fully accepted documents.
(Unless there is something very special about this particular FAQ, such
as being fully recognized by the main stream math community as a
concrete authority.)
