Ahh, good idea. The URLs for the articles are less stable than the Xref
lines are. For example, when the new web-interface/hierarchy is moved into
place, shortly after that will come a remapping of all the article URLs (but
the old ones will still work for backward compatibility).

Yeah...this is pretty important too. And although most things worth FAQing
will have been posted about and have an external URL in the post, it's
possible that some thing won't...
BTW, there could be a pair of mutually exclusive (or overlapping) headers
Reference-URL:
and
Reference:
or something like that to avoid having to construct the full unwieldy
article URLs by hand each time. Or calling the header 'References:' instead
of 'Reference:' and exactly mimicking the NNTP header 'References:' is
another interesting possibility...
In general, the closer these FAQ entries can get to NNTP articles, the
greater the possibilities for enhanced integration with followup commentary.
