Here is a patch to faq/index.html and a new file ext/tr1.html.
I'm not done yet.  I just wanted to see what people thought of the format
and granularity of the table.  I mostly just took the TOC from the TR1 n1837
and added some markup.  There are a few lines where more detail should 
be added
to get what's required.

I marked most of the container items as done to see what it looked like
and because it looks like that's pretty close to the case.

After incorporating comments and after incorporating some ideas that I have
I'll send for Copyright assignment.
