This is a sensible position. I would tend to make such changes in most cases, but I would hope that eventually each of them does have an article on Wiktionary. Of the given examples, I tend to leave "kg" and "etc." alone, I have mixed feelings about "i.e." where most English speakers would understand "id est" even less,
Because of which I tend to turn it into "that is"
and I don't know what "a.o." means. I have to guess that it means "change it".
"amongst others" or "and others"
