I'd suggest this is the wrong direction to head in this case for at
least a few of reasons:

   1. This hasn't really risen to the level of a FAQ.

   2. The problem is ill-defined at least and isn't shared by the vast
      majority.

   3. It's not at all clear that the problem isn't fixable if it were
      better understood.

Perhaps someone seeing this problem could spend a little more time with
it and see if a solution can be found that makes any documentation of
it unnecessary.  That would be a real big help.
