Thank you very much, I adopted most of them.

Yes, this makes perfect sense, a list is much more readable.
The text in the FAQ is now the following:
| 4.5 What is different about Emacs 22?
| =====================================
|
| * Emacs can be built with GTK+ widgets, and supports drag-and-drop
| operation on X.
|
| * Font Lock mode, Auto Compression mode, and File Name Shadow Mode
| are enabled by default.
|
| * The maximum size of buffers has been doubled and is 256M on
| 32-bit machines.
|
| * Links can be followed with `mouse-1'.
|
| * Mouse wheel support is enabled by default.
|
| * Window fringes are customizable.
|
| * The mode line of the selected window is now highlighted.
|
| * The minibuffer prompt is displayed in a distinct face.
|
| * Abbrev definitions are read automatically at startup.
|
| * Grep mode is separate from Compilation mode and has many new
| options and commands specific to grep.
|
| * The original Emacs macro system has been replaced by the new
| Kmacro package, which provides many new commands and features
| and a simple interface that uses the function keys F3 and F4.
| Macros are stored in a macro ring, and can be debugged and
| edited interactively.
|
| * The Grand Unified Debugger (GUD) can be used with a full
| graphical user interface to GDB; this provides many features
| found in traditional development environments, making it easy to
| manipulate breakpoints, add watch points, display the call
| stack, etc. Breakpoints are visually indicated in the source
| buffer.
|
| * Many new modes and packages have been included in Emacs, such as
| Calc, TRAMP, URL, IDO, CUA, ERC, rcirc, Table, Tumme, SES,
| Ruler, Org, PGG, Flymake, Password, Printing, Reveal, wdired,
| t-mouse, longlines, savehist, Conf mode, Python mode, DNS mode,
| etc.
|
| * Leim is now part of Emacs. Unicode support has been much
| improved, and the following input methods have been added:
| belarusian, bulgarian-bds, bulgarian-phonetic, chinese-sisheng,
| croatian, dutch, georgian, latin-alt-postfix, latin-postfix,
| latin-prefix, latvian-keyboard, lithuanian-numeric,
| lithuanian-keyboard, malayalam-inscript, rfc1345,
| russian-computer, sgml, slovenian, tamil-inscript, ucs,
| ukrainian-computer, vietnamese-telex, and welsh.
|
| The following language environments have also been added:
| Belarusian, Bulgarian, Chinese-EUC-TW, Croatian, French,
| Georgian, Italian, Latin-6, Latin-7, Latvian, Lithuanian,
| Malayalam, Russian, Slovenian, Swedish, Tajik, Tamil, UTF-8,
| Ukrainian, Welsh, and Windows-1255.
|
| * Emacs 22 features support for GNU/Linux systems on S390 and
| x86-64 machines, as well as support for the Mac OS X and Cygwin
| operating systems.
|
| * In addition, Emacs 22 now includes the Emacs Lisp Reference
| Manual (*note Emacs Lisp documentation::) and the Emacs Lisp
| Intro.
|
| Many other changes have been made in Emacs 22, use `C-h n' to get a
| full list.
