I know that this is *supposed* to only affect syntax, but is retrospect
changing of user submissions OK with the GFDL? (After all, we're not
making a new version based on an old one, like editing; we'll be
changing the sumbission itself.)
I don't see why the GFDL would be a problem. In the worst case we'd
have to consider it a 'revision' - the GFDL does not oblige us to give
the old versions, only to specify the authors and version history.
