Let's be a little forgiving to Joost.  There are a few lines before the 
part of the .plan that you cited which would help shed light on this 
disagreement of facts:

-> -------------------------------------------------------------------
-> Status of QUAKE---Updated: Tue, Aug 29 at 11:47pm
-> 
-> Please do not send us mail about Quake. It just slows us down.

-> Well, we just got sprite 'models' animating with frame changes and 
[...]

Joost's mini-faq was last updated 8/21, help's .plan was updated 8/29, 
and that was the first we officially heard of id's decision to include 
sprites.  Thank you, though, for pointing out the difference.  I'm sure 
the next edition of the mini-faq/QuakeTalk will reflect this new 
information.
