Well, it seems a lot easier to correct typos and
other minor blemishes that way than to relay them
to a third party for them to correct.  I certainly
don't fancy editing in such trivial changes for
other people - I could just as well do the reviewing
myself.  People on the doc team are familiar with
editing source after all.  I would not advocate this
for people not on the doc team though.  But of course
the actual reading is done on the docs themselves,
ideally both html and pdf.
