It's worth noting that, since the son-of-1036 draft
recommends that news systems limit the size of new posts to
60,000 bytes, then in principle this shouldn't be a problem
for conscientious maintainers of existing FAQs. I do know a
few maintainers who like to flout the rules in principle,
however. :-)
