OK will do, but want you to svn up and look at files in trunk/generic/faqguide

To understand the difference use validate.sh in trunk and validate.sh in 
branches/breezy on the faqguide.xml

I now used xinclude and new files were added in trunk, some files removed and 
copied to faqguide.xml

If you are happy with this, IOQ, test it the HEAD version of faqguide.xml with 
the gnome doc utils, see if it works for you. If you see it works and you are 
happy, I will merge those patches to the the breezy branch
