There's a pending change to INSTALL that would summarize versions and
download URLs for all the optional support libraries.  A user complained
(rightfully, IMHO), that "hiding" that information in the various *.trm
files is not a particularly good plan, at least not for a release version.

The sf.net site definitely has to be mentioned.  Both the new homepage
there, and esp. the project page with all the bug trackers and friends. 

I guess it would also make sense to declare SF.net our primary download
site.  They have significantly larger pipes than any of the alternatives.

A text file browser is, too.  So what?

What about a compromise: keep FAQ.html on the web only (and in the
separate "docs in all formats" tarball), and add a pointer to its URL to
the plain-text edition of the FAQ.
