I would favour the idea of a list of references at the bottom of the FAQ,
which could include club message numbers, books, web sites and other sources
as appropriate, with each numbered in the same way as Simon illustrated with
his footnotes.  

e.g.

1. HP4GU #2345, #3456
2. CoS, Ch.5
3. www.somesite.orother.com/hpotter.html
4. eG #269, #303
5. Webster's Dictionary, whatever edition
6. GoF, US-audio

and so on, with these numbers as [1], [2], [3] etc. in the text of the FAQs.
