Important typo fixes in FAQ

Browse Source 
There were some cases where the wrong JSON member was referenced when
explaining a different JSON member (in author details).

Also to help clarify the part about if the value is unknown, I have
changed it to be 'it should be ...' rather than 'they should use' since
obviously the author themselves ought to know their email, URL, alt URL
etc. :-)
