But of course! If, at a children party, you put on the table carrot sticks and chocolate, milk and coke, the coke and the chocolate will be gone as sure as the carrots and milk will be left.
If you want a top-down organization that proofs what you think worthy, rather than a bottom-up outfit that proofs what people want to proof and read, then your goals would seem a better fit with academia: an authority with the power to decide on a canon and to coerce people working for pay or academic whuffie to prepare the texts. Though I might add that DP manages to tackle a surprising number of works that are indisputably worthy and not at all fun to proof -- like the Baburnama, or the Kashf-al-Mahjub, or Haeckel's Report on the Radiolaria. (I think all of those might be held up in PP; we've just about wrassled P3 to the ground, next are F2 and PP). -- Karen Lofstrom
