Do you actually read the Q1 in the FAQ? It does answer the question.

Q1: Is there a requirement for the EEA national to apply as well?

No. All Residence documentation under EEA regulations are optional. However, to support the application, proof of the EEA national exercising treaty rights needs to be provided including passport/ID card so effectively to apply for a Residence Certificate just means filling in an application form and attaching 2 photos. You can send the two application in the same envelope.
