I neglected this point in my earlier commentary.

If they want to save me the trouble of converting my FAQs to HTML,
that's wonderful, but I must be able to fully control what the anchor
on my home page points to.

Any resulting HTML version **MUST** (note the emphasis) be returned
to the FAQ author with full rights. Period. Anything less is for
obvious reasons unacceptable.
