‘Standard’ as in a standard imprint. The typical argument is that any print edition beyond the first is altered, especially with punctuation, according to the whims of the day. Even the first edition is rarely what the author originally wrote, having had a multitude of spelling corrections and changes from the original MS. But yes, we do do this (sympathetically to my mind), and yes, it’s all marked as editorial in the commit history. It’s not trivial to untangle, but it’s not impossible by any means. We also list the sources used to build the books which include the transcriptions and scans if you want to find the unaltered versions. (for what it’s worth, by far the most common adjustments are to-day to today, to-morrow to tomorrow, and good-night to good night)
