I think it was one of my initial versions that had the hat logo--only Steve 
had seen it.  I deemed it too tall to be any place other than the top-level 
page.  Sounds like Steve will be taking care of these types of edits since 
they are hosted on his site.

True.  This is the case if Word is used.  Please take a look at this test 
version of Hermione's FAQ I converted long ago:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HP4GU-FAQ/files/HTML-fied/undressed/hermione_granger-2.html

Message #625 references a conversion tool that I felt at the time did a 
better job a converting Word files to HTML.  I remember that it certainly 
had less "junk."

Steve, if you would check the above [undressed] document for "ease of 
convertibility," I can do similar documents with footnotes with this 
tool.  Again, this wouldn't be necessarily the way it will always be 
done.  Just this time 'round.

This can be a fairly automated procedure, so as far as complications, they 
are minimal.
