Perhaps you were looking at an old version of the FAQ.  Here is the
table from the current FAQ:

        ANSI Spec.  1131SO    1107SOP   1166A     1124MP
        IEC Spec.   SR44      SR44      LR44      MR9
        Chemistry   AgO       AgO       Alk.      Mercury

        Bulova      228
        Duracell    D357      MS76      PX76A     PX625
        Eveready    357       EPX76     A76       EPX625
        Kodak       KS76      KA76      KX625
        Maxell      SR44W     SR44P     LR44P
        Panasonic   SP357     G13       LR44      H-D
        Rayovac     357       RS76      LR44      RPX625
        Renata      357
        Seiko       SR44W
        Timex       J
        Toshiba     SR44W     SR44      LR44      MR9
        Varta       V357      V76PX     V13GA     V625PX

Note that MS76 is the same as SR44 (ANSI Spec 1107SOP), while 357 is
ANSI Spec 1131SO.  Thus they are not the same, and the info *was*
already in the FAQ. 

In any event, my point is proven.  Dan and I have already spent more $$$
of our time at the going rate arguing about this than several sets of
either type of battery would cost.

:))

Cheers,
