Ambiguity for torrc setting(s) *StrictNodes between FAQ and Tor dev manual

Tor project FAQ entry "Can I control which nodes (or country) are used for entry/exit?" states if one so chooses one should use StrictEntryNodes 1 for EntryNodes and StrictExitNodes 1 for ExitNodes. However, the Tor Man Page for the development version states one would use StrictNodes 1 for both StrictEntryNodes and StrictExitNodes.

I realize the Tor FAQ is referring to the stable version of Tor, but that fact is not clear and may be confusing to some people. Maybe it would be helpful to make a note in the FAQ entry that the settings are for use with the stable version? Granted this sentence from the FAQ entry "We recommend you do not use these — they are intended for testing and may disappear in future versions." seems to make an attempt to warn users but I think a more clear explanation may be helpful.
