I'd like to expand on this by asking if anyone knows of a precedent for
posting plain-text FAQs to *.answers for archival purposes and posting a
summary FAQ with pointers to the HTML source and the archived plain-text
to the FAQs' respective groups.

I'm contemplating this change and have asked the *.answers folks about it
as per the *.answers FAQ on header changes, but given that folks are fairly
lively here (and I've yet to hear back from them), I'm curious if anyone
else is already doing this.

Thanks.
