Hi Greg,

Bastien merged that patch just before I was going to modify it in response to your suggestions. I think, 3 commits is too much noise in git history for the single item in FAQ. However I can to prepare one more correction. Maybe you have got a better idea how to avoid confusion with Org versions in the tables.

I have no idea how to express it in a better way. The tables are same
for Org >= 9.5 and for Org < 9.5 (modulo bugs in indentation fixed in
9.4.6).  Only default configuration evolves in time.

again, i apologize.  my confusion was in not having read the text to
understand that the "(Org >= 9.5)" was the default.  i assumed it meant,
"this is the behavior for Org >= 9.5", even though that meant the tables
really didn't make sense.  if you wanted to compensate for such a "user
feature" :), maybe remove "(Org >= 9.5)", and add that information as a
short "NB:" line after each table?
...
sorry, i should have caught *both* "relatively".  i'd suggest

a. "do not indent anything",
    "always indent relative to the element above",
    "indent just ~PROPERTIES/LOGBOOK~ drawers relative
    to the current heading level"

which klings better to my ears.  (sadly, i can't explain any grammatical
reason why, though.)
