Small suggestion, folks. How about a text box to be made available when a revision is suggested so the reviser can say why he/she made that suggestion (there's a similar thing in
Wikipedia). It may not always be obvious, especially if someone isn't as hot on syntax, say, or the niceties of unambiguous punctuation and doesn't immediately see why his or her copy is being scrutinised. Obviously, the contents of the box would remain unpublished - probably even unseen by anyone but the writer of the article.
