There is a better reason for not including that stuff into the FAQL,
namely, it does not answer any FA (as in Frequently Asked) Qs, because
no questions about Rihannsu, Bajoran etc. have ever been asked here,
let alone frequently asked.

Now, if sci.lang had a NAQL (Never Asked Questions List), it would be
a different story.
