Hi Chris,

The point is that the developer, unless specified as also being their copy
editor, will place documents on the site as it is delivered to them. It's up
to the original poster otherwise to ensure copy is proofed and is presented
to the developer in an organized fashion.

Unless I am misunderstanding, I don't agree with this. Proofing _after_
the copy has gone to production, based on as-is documents unorganized
and riddled with mistakes is a waste of time and money.
