Well, I guess Tolkien's insistence on Faramir's hair colour would have been a part of his character. But I think that an obvious hair colour change to the actor (as opposed to a pretty flawless change in Orly's hair colour) would have been a mistake. I know several Downers cringe when they see Wormtongue's make-up. <P>Frankly I agree that Faramir's hair colour is the least of the problems raised by that character in TTT (and probably ROTK, let's be honest). I think it would be a real shame if the writers took pains to ensure his hair colour was correct, but still went ahead and butchered his character.
