RE: editing guidelines

Editing to me seems a lot more time consuming than does the actual writing.
I've worn both hats and well, I've found the editing to be a much more
exacting task.  I'd almost say it really depends on the level of the editing
being done.  After all, I'd spend less time editing for grammar and style
and usage than I would to verify the business object layer of such and such
a module that would be the crux of a new release.

I think editing should be weighted as equally as writing.  But, maybe that's
IMHO.

You know how online help has a guideline of 4-6 hours per topic, well,
does editing have a guideline like that? 1-2 hours to edit a page of
technical documentation and check references? What are the opinions out
there?
