Maybe a link to the license steward's FAQ, if any (perhaps with some
appropriate disclaimer that the OSI does not necessarily endorse
anything in such FAQs)? This will only be relevant to a few licenses but
some of them are among the more widely used ones.

Agreed. (Re the first example there are some cases where there really
never was a canonical text, so that might be an appropriate statement
for such cases.)
