It seems to me that most of these solutions are
needlessly complex. The web was designed to solve
exactly this sort of issue; just create one web
home page for the FAQ that links to whatever other
resources you like, and put that one home page
URL in the URL pseudoheader, and you avoid the
whole issue entirely. The whole point of hypertext
is to collect multiple separate resources and make
them accessible from one page. The genius of the
web is that the multiple resources can be *totally*
separate, produced by different authors and made
available by different organisations, and they can
still all be reached from one page.

The only case I can think of that isn't covered
by this is if the multiple URLs are mirrors, any
of which may be up or down at any point. But
I expect that is not a common situation for FAQs.
