Hello David,
There are a few spelling errors in the draft FAQ:


5.4:

Not only would this involve major rewrites of the widget libraries such 
as gtk and qt that would also break backwards compatablity with older 
servers, but one the reasons why X is so good is that it is 
cross-platform. You can have a series of X clients runing on a bunch of 
different server boxes like HP-UX, IRIX, Solaris and manange <-- no n 
between 'a' and 'g'

There are some projects, however, that are attempting to do remote 
widget handling: picogui come <-- add 's' for plural.
7.1:
The Xouvert project is currently using the imake build system which is 
heavily based on using the C Pre-Processor. The Xouvert Project is 
currently exploreing <-- no 'e' between r and i
7.2:
Imake makes heavy use of the C Pre-processor (CPP). The CPP works well 
for pre-processing C source files, but is not well suited for processing 
make and compile-time configuration files. There are a number of 
inherent limitations of the CPP which comprimise the usefulness of the 
CPP, namely that all CPP directives must start in the first columb <-- I 
don't think the 'b' should be there.
