a6270d8eca Delete preface comment about XXX markup. The last XXX was removed 
from the SGML source in rev. 1.292 by bmah.  Besides, all the XXX
stuff should be in comments, which won't/shouldn't be visible to
printed output anyway.

dc4ca7362a Update the FAQ to be closer to reality about -RC and -PRERELEASE 
versions (but retain a note about the older -BETA).  Change the example
to a more recent release where -PRERELEASE was actually used.  Finally,
add a reference to the release engineering article.
