While that's not a bad idea, it's important to remember that different
systems tend to have--or have tended to have--different groups of errors.
Also, the larger the corrections list, the worse for weeding unless you look
at the types of corrections generated for a selection of the books you do.
A case in point is the one correction of "wold" to "wood". It might be a
reasonable correction, but, the one time I saw it used, it turned a real
word into a real word that wasn't there. I only noticed this with the
corrections list in front of me, and only because I knew the book in
question cold. Most other times, I'd have completely overlooked it.
