Please consider some of the following minor changes for faq/pf. I have 
several other changes too but need to submit them later.

Changes include:
- add reference to sysctl(8)
- add comma
- use "or" instead of /
- spell out digits in text
- For the scrub.html change below, see pf.conf.5 revision 1.302:
   "'random-id' no longer applies only to outgoing packets."
- spell out left angle and right angle brackets
