I have no problem with people submitting updated/enhanced edits.  As long
as it doesn't "break" existing data (ie: valid input must still be valid
and must still get the same output), I don't think there would be many
objections to this.  (About the only objection I can think of is "but it
conflicts with _my_ enhancement to the edit".)

Jim Asman graciously donated his enhanced PCL print codes, and fPTech now
includes them as part of the filePro distribution.  I see no reason to not
have the same thing with edits.  (Aside from the current limitation of 200
global+local edits, that is.)
