... and sometimes you have FAQs which contradict each other, for 
good reason.  That's the approach to take.

Writing FAQs is essentially a volunteer's job.  If the information 
is useless or wrong or misleading, someone else will speak up.  If 
the information is good, you end up as being "the authoritative 
source" about some topic area.
