Submitted by:	me
Reviewed by:	nik

Correct some problem in FAQ, after nik's New make(1) infrastructure committed.
These changes are:

1. "Q:Q:" link of FAQ html file is wrong, so change <xref...> to <link ...>.

2. In the Chapter 9, Networking section, there is a wrong link too: GaTeD
   has a new location now.(http://www.gated.org/).

3. Fix a weird <email>@</email> tag, It looks like we just need a single
   "@" but not to mail somebody anonymous. I proposed to use
   <emphasis remap=tt><@></emphasis> instead of <email>@</email>.

4. Use <address> .... </address> as nik's sugggestion.
