Some sort of more structured FAQ writing system would be great.  The
main place I've discovered that Wiki's fall down is it gets hard to edit
large pages because the text edit boxes have such limited functionality
(I can't even make Mozilla search in them to find what I want to edit).

The idea I've been playing with is using Include.py to do it.  You make
each FAQ a separate page and then include them all in the actual FAQ
page using the header normaliziation stuff to make it look right.

I suspect that this will work but that it won't be much more manageable
as all the includes will just frustrate and confuse people trying to
actually edit and update the page.

Do it like the SeaPig Blog macro and make each FAQ a separate sub page?

?? I see no reference to "blarg" anywhere?  What am I missing?
