I flew the San Jose (KSJC) ILS 30L approach on Sunday, and
noticed that there is no charted FAF, i.e. no Maltese Cross. I
use Jepp plates but I just looked at the NOS plate on the AOPA
site and it's the same. There's also no OM - although there is
an MM.

Seems strange - anyone have any idea why? I thought that all
approaches had to have an FAF?

A precision approach FAF is designated by a lightning bolt, not by a Maltese
Cross. (See the AIM Pilot/Controller Glossary).
