I see the word `docs' in the OP sentence. Are you implying that the goal of both sources have equal aspirations? If not, why do you single out faq? One might expect that a user read docs & faq. Are you saying that one of them actually points a reader to the answer or do you just feel the subject is too essoteric to expect some reference to an answer anywhere. Not even one pointing to code.
