I'm one of the volunteers who is going back and providing reworked versions of existing older PG texts, and my approximate criteria for selection are: Older than (roughly) number 7000, is only in text version at PG, text version has many "hard" errors (tbe, arc, arid, etc. as opposed to "soft" problems such as formatting), illustrations not present, and most importantly, ones that I have a physical copy of the book from which to make the corrections from.
This clearly falls under the "value-added" category of thinking. While I share your position that simple reformatting is mostly a waste of time, going back and rehabilitating existing works is not, and I hope that people interested in working on that aspect are not discouraged.
I agree that your type of updates is needed for the older PG titles, and don't consider it a waste of time. However, it was my impression that Ron was offering to provide uncorrected reformatted editions of the titles in question.
