No it doesn't. If you don't put in a proper Expires header, many
sites will throw the FAQ away after two days rather than keeping it
around for new users to read. Hence the FAQ doesn't serve its
purpose, because people *still* post FAQ-related questions, because
when they turn up the FAQ isn't there.
I've done it. I looked in news.answers for an FAQ on topic <x>,
didn't find one, and because our site obeys Expires: lines I assumed
there wasn't an FAQ for topic <x>, or else we'd have it. So I posted
an FAQ-related question.
