What I do is: every time I make a change, I add it to a list of
changes that appears at the top of the FAQ. My auto-poster cycles the
changes so that after they are posted once under the heading "last 2 weeks",
they are moved to "last 4 weeks" the second time, and then aged out at
the third posting. The Last-modified date is also automatically set at
the last edit date of the file.
Flagging changes is important for my FAQ because there are always many
of them. I don't flag the changes in the body of the text, just in the
header. The reader can search the body of the text for the details of the
changed or new sites.
Here's the current "recent changes" list to illustrate:
