I wasn't suggesting that the original authors have this imposed on them, simply that an "editor" needed to go through and turn the original copy into something closer to what makes a decent handbook. Considering the difference in quality with the results, I don't think that anyone would object, nor does the average engineer feel as strongly about their textual output (which most feel sucks anyway and only do it as a last resort) as they do about their code.
