Thing is...I've been doing it all along. Just compare the 1998 text of Silk to the 2008 text. Or any of the reprinted stories. Most get tweaked somewhat between each reprinting, as I figure out how to make the text "better."
Admittedly, the "Bainbridge" rewrite would be much more radical. I've just grown to hate that story, because it connects so much.
