My idea was:
-------->------------>-------
Glossary:
When I say Emacs in this FAQ I mean either FSF Emacs or XEmacs. When I
say message I mean either posting to Usenet or mail, whereas
article means posting to Usenet...

About 10-20 lines explaining things I use in the FAQ which people might
stumble about while reading the FAQ. More examples could be backend or
select-method.
-------->------------>-------

I don't really know if this matches Don's idea as I didn't really
understood what he wrote, but I'd think this would be useful.

If you thing this doesn't fit in a FAQ, then I'll perhaps call it LQAWTT
(List of Questions and Answers With Tutorial Touch) :-)
