Interesting!  Now, the question is what the ISOization would do if 
the files were name just "faq_xx.html" instead of "texfaq_xx.html". 
Would that at least result in "FAQ_xx.HTM" or in "FAQ_xx.000"?
That is, does it just invent new names when the basename exceeds
8 characters or does it do that as well for the extension part?

Cheers, Ulrik.
