Presumably, that also holds for spelling mis-corrections.

Why not? This series has very much the flavour of a classic text. Thus fixing it now for posteriority makes a lot of sense:

with a web form to fill in... When people are in their browser reading a web
site, they hate to jump through the hoop of firing up their E-mail program (or

a handy-dandy easier-to-use forum thread right there that they can mention it

running on a completely different machine than where my browser is currently
running)...
