That is indeed a mistake in the FAQ. I just fixed it; the update should
be on Worg shortly. Thanks for finding this. You'll want to set
org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done to on (t) to exclude the DONE items.

org-agenda-include-all-todo controls whether a list of all active todos
is added to the daily/weekly agenda view. It does not control whether
DONE items appear in the agenda.

Thanks again,
Matt
