beware.
some seemingly minor modification can lead in a major change in meaning
in an other part of the document. no change should be done before
carefull re-reading of a document and the author is best fitted to do this.
even orthographic changes can be a problem - if automatic correctors are
so dumb it's just because the meaning is not always evident.
an error can always be corrected in more than one way. co-authoring is
an art :-)
