A quick answer: I disagree on both points. The FAQ gives short immediately useful answers to common questions. A pointer to the full documentation generally doesn't cut it--the standard docs are often references to the language features, not to problem solving. For this reason, I picture the Perl 6 FAQ will be similar in style to the Perl 5 FAQ. Nat
