Well, it looks very much finished to me. How about making it more 
official? It doesn't look like Matthew is taking that responsibility 
for us. And in my opinion a FAQ is not an ordinary document but belongs 
to the subject it refers to, in this case a.a-a. If "we" decide to
use your new version, with your name as (co-) author or maintainer
then it would be official enough. I would like to see that happen
as well as the replacement of the older version on web-pages.

I only whish that more people would take part in this. _I_ do like
your new version. It reads almost like a scientific document but 
that's OK. For more direct stuff we can always fall back and use 
the mini-FAQ. In a way I would like to see more examples for the
different types of ASCII creations (e.g. diddles, line art, shading,
etc.) but on the other hand the text is rather long already. In 
short: I give my OK and vote for ending the humble "not-official" 
ceremony right here.

:)
