As a reader, I don't care much about spelling and punctuation (after having read a book, I usually couldn't tell you whether they had been British or US), but I'd be seriously troubled by the tought that the text may have been tampered with. If a publisher finds the need for doing this (for which they'd need a very good reason), they should at least document the changes they have made.
