I was thinking of the editing function more for fixing links that didn't work right and really functional stuff like that. I'm not so concerned about spelling and certainly wouldn't want any of the delightful colloquialisms edited out.

One thing I have seen in another forum was that the editing could only be done in the first 30 minutes after a message was posted and only by the submitter - this prevents wholesale revision of history. I suppose in Mudcat terms this would also mean only registered members could use the edit. That don't bother me none.
