You are quite right.  Because of your prompting I have reworked the
entry considerably.  Thanks for that!  Things are still not optimized
since there are several that are all related but not grouped together
but I didn't want to disrupt the anchor tags.  Hopefully it is
incrementally improved over the previous just the same.

Side note: One of these days the FAQ entries will need to be
reorganized and then the previous numbers and anchor tags will no
longer map to the new locations.  This is one of the reasons why I
rarely refer to the entries by specific number or full URL tag.
