If the original source you use turns out to have errors, as nearly all books do, do you want the errors preserved?

me? nope. i want 'em corrected, with a note to that effect. but that's if you're _sure_ it's an error. it's not always that clear. if you _suspect_ something _might_ be an error, but aren't sure, even after detective work, i would want a note made to that effect. ***

However, we have tried to avoid the arguments that come with this sort of thing, as per a previous discussion about this, when we argued about the punctuation in "To be or not to be."

in such cases, make note of the arguments. :+) *** skippi said:

that x.m.l. it's good for _everything_, isn't it? :+) i just heard there's a new thing out now where x.m.l. can actually make you a toasted-cheese sandwich, no kidding, and you can even specify -- with a tag -- how dark or light you want the bread toasted. i gotta get me that thing, man, because i'm jonesin' for a toasted-cheese sandwich right now... -bowerbird
