It is good to see that you have finally come to your senses. At least
partially:

Please don't.

I proposed that about a year ago.

I spend time eating, sleeping, lifting weights. I have a javascript
library that I am working on, so be patient -- it doesn't happen
immediately but it will get done.

RIght, what was I thinking? I hate it when sites do that.

FAQ notes content is closely associated with the FAQ, of which you are
the maintainer.

Any note page that you are not willing to maintain the content of should
have added to it the name of its current maintainer, or something
resembling
"Current content maintainer : none".

All note pages should have the date of the last significant content
change or review.

Could Bart's system be extended to post in turn, maybe once a
week/fortnight/month, a link to a Notes page with a request to readers
to review it for current accuracy?


Does the foot of
<http://jibbering.com/faq/faq_notes/square_brackets.html>
need upgrading, now that Lasse uses an additional name?

I proposed it here several times before that, when it was summarily
dismissed in each instance. However, I could not find evidence that
you were among those who dismissed it, so I take that back.

No; the function that it expresses is called, and not the
FunctionExpression itself. The function is then discarded.

How about functions declared inside such a function? Are they available
in all browsers, or not? It seems not. They may be delivered via a
returned Object, though (FF3, js-quick).
