There isn't such way.  This has historical reasons.  One of the 
requirements of gen-faq.pl is that it generates both HTML and plain text 
versions, and plain text versions are the original text with some things 
replaced, mostly numbering.  As an example, the above link would look 
like that in plain text:

the GNU Coding
Standard[1]

[1] http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards.html

It's not filtered like fmt(1) does, and this is kind of requirement to 
gen-faq.pl.
