Well, to be fair, the book module is not quite the same thing as a  
dedicated module. As well, while for some questions you can just use  
the title, and use the body for the answer, this doesn't always work.

The question module needs a fair bit of work. It might form the basis  
for some interesting FAQ work. There are a ton of things that could  
go into such a module.
