Al>It'll be interesting to see who, if anyone, steps up to this project. 

Again, I tried “stepping up to the bat” some time ago.  As a test of the receptiveness of PG to people actually trying to rework old and crusty versions, I redid 76 as 32325 using a slightly different edition to avoid stepping on anyone’s toes and to test PG’s response.

PG posted it, but continues to “advertise” the old version via download count such that almost no real customer ever finds the new version. Go try and find it without looking at the number above, and see what I mean.

Word diff comparisons show that the old version, 76, is in error in about 1500+ places, by today’s standards, at least. Where by “in error” I mean 1500 places 76 clearly differs from the text found in the original book.

Again, its not clear to me how anyone would, in practice, be allowed to rework an old crusty version such as 76, even if they wanted to.  I believe, in practice, the WWers would reject the effort after the volunteer has put in the 40+ hours work.
