That's another issue. FAQ maintainers, as well as many FAQ readers,
may not have the software/expertise/interest to do that. Plain text
seems like the obvious least common denominator for FAQs, at least to
me :-). I think a plain text standard would be an easier pill to
swallow in general.
Of course it would be nice if there were good tools to go the other
way, as you suggest, but I haven't found any really adequate ones so
far.
BTW, sorry about the lack of Subject line.
