Yep. It would really only work for books where the author's agree to it from the start, and I don't think many would.
Moot for me since I teach at a research university and won't write textbooks as it does me nothing for tenure and promotion as peer reviewed research publications and research grant funding are what matter.
But I'd never write anything that others could edit at their whim.
