I don't have time to deal with this now[1].  Could some assign this
(part of the) bug to Gnus in the bug tracker, please?  (It also
applies to Emacs 22.2 / Gnus 5.10.x.)

Bye, Reiner.

[1] We need to decide if we want to keep gnus-faq.xml or use
    gnus-faq.texi as the primary source and drop gnus-faq.xml.

Fixed in v5-10.  It will propagate to Emacs_22 and to the trunk (Emacs
and Gnus) eventually.

Bye, Reiner.

FWIW, I expected to receive this from bug-gnu-emacs, or perhaps
emacs-pretest-bug (where I submitted the bug), not from emacs-devel.

I admit it. I'm lost in the bug mails labyrinth.
I have no idea what to expect anymore.
