Agreed.  I tend to look at Wikisource as a place where material is 
relatively much less editable than onWikipedia,  but not completely 
uneditable.  This mostly works.  But that could be because some of the 
texts are so long that they discourage editing.  There are features that 
I would love to have that would make translations and annotations more 
convenient, but I can be patient in waiting for them. 8-)
