IIRC www.landfield.com generates a fully HTMLized archive of FAQ postings
as gleaned from Usenet. Along with RFCs and other things.

I'm not sure of his selection heuristics. I suspect he looks for the
appropriate Approved line.

His HTML-izer is pretty good if you stick to digest format for FAQs.

Perhaps instead of the FAQ group maintaining HTML versions, just
acknowledge/adopt www.landfield.com, and provide a set of recommendations
to FAQ writers to ensure that his HTML-izer will work on their FAQs.

I know I abandoned thoughts of HTMLizing my FAQs because of that site.
