But followup agents (at least the ones whose duties are set out in our
present draft, and will continue to be set out in USEPRO) are not involved
in the generation of multipart FAQs and the like (that would lead to some
ridiculous outcomes, as I pointed out a couple of days ago).

Which, to me, is a good argument for not regarding later parts of a FAQ as
"followups", although I agree it _could_ be worded that way, and I have
suggested a wording.
