True enough, there are plenty of minor orthographic differences between
virtually all manuscripts.  But the issue I am concerned with is; do
scholars simply need to be told "they are there, so were are going to ignore
them" or "here are the manuscripts, decide for yourself"?
I think wide accessibility is a "necessity" for genuine scholarship to
occur.  That was my only (poorly put, obviously) point.
