If we manage it right (and we have so far) bookmarking this:

faq

a.k.a.: http://meta.serverfault.com/questions/tagged/faq

Will give you the list of meta-questions that are part of the FAQ. As of this moment we have 4 of them, one of which is the canonical-question-question.

The way the system is designed right now, canonical questions should get upvoted to the heavens so they show up at the top of the tag-question lists. Some of them are, some haven't made it yet.

While it would be nice to have a question tagged with the subject and [canonical] for ease of searching...

We really, really don't want guerrilla-tagging of that tag. It would have to be a meta-style red-tag, which is a feature-request that'll have to be built in.
