Being a publisher and an editor myself, I'm aware of this -- but this editing is done with the author's consent, and the end-product of this editing process, in which the author is involved, is the published text. Here we are talking about re-editing texts that have already been published, and have become part of our cultural heritage -- I'm doing this myself, too, but it is a different matter.
