"Q:Q:" link of FAQ html file is wrong, so change <xref...> to <link ...>. 2. In the Chapter 9, Networking section, there is a wrong link too: GaTeD has a new location now.(http://www.gated.org/). 3. Fix a weird <email>@</email> tag, It looks like we just need a single "@" but not to mail somebody anonymous. I proposed to use <emphasis remap=tt><@></emphasis> instead of <email>@</email>. 4.
