Hi Olly,
what kind of Benefit would your FAQ Plugin have over "normal" Page
with a sitemap element on top, wich shows the the Contente Elements of the  
current
page? i have used this solution for some FAQ's now because its very simple
and works out of the box.

i hope you know about these features of the "sitemap" element and you have
a reason to make this extension.

best wishes
chris
