At a quick glance it seems quite comprehensive, but I wonder if it is adequate for the FAQ, or if it would be better to have a separate page for it. Besides, it doesn't address the "checkreading" which doesn't seem to be an English word. Even if it is the technically correct term for what is going on I doubt FAQ readers actually care and would suggest to avoid it (also for the sake of translators). You might also want to CC -l10n-english on such patches ;) Any opinions about my other suggestions?
