Update future enhancements and remove FAQ

Remove FAQ section as the development version seems unsupported. Don't know if
this should be actually committed?

All-in-one patch

This patch contains all previous patches. It also fixes a small amount of typos
from the previous fixes. Since all changes are relevant to the document (i.e.
for translations too) I've coupled them. 

Translators interested in the seperate fixes can ofcourse still use the
previous fixes, I have not made any changes to the fixes except for I think 4
typos.
