Yeah, this is what I do mostly (not stalk you, I mean copyediting). I
don't refer to the MoS much (you get the hang of the "wikipedia style"
pretty quickly), but when I do wonder about something it is a very
handy reference. As I've said, I really like it and don't think there
is an urgent need (or any need at all, really) to overhaul it.
