FYI
The final version was passed to FFG on June 3.
Parathion and I continued to work on it up to literally to the last day (I made changes based on his last set of comments between seeing Anton's reply and sending it to Anton), often disagreeing, but always eventually finding something we could both live with.
I'd like to thank him particularly for carrying most of the load in the last couple of months. We probably doubled the size of the document with adding new questions and going through the existing FAQ as well as virtually every card in the game.
The final document had 77 questions (despite everything I could argue to keep the number down!), the GLOAQ (cross referenced to new questions or with edits and commentary as necessary (not often) questions, a section on errata suggestions for the existing FAQ, and an SoB commentary section.
The ToC is copied below (though formatting is mostly lost, sorry).
Apologies that it kept growing without referencing back to the google group or the sub-forum, but it was so much quicker this way and with two frequently opposed viewpoints and strong arguers I think we sorted most issues out fairly well.
