I take it a step further and separate reviewers from
source files, whether they're editing a draft copy or
not. Giving them a source file of any sort to hack
lends itself to problems. You don't want them
accidentally (or otherwise) deleting others' comments
and such. I prefer PDF for this reason. I maintain the
source and take their comments as, well, comments and
not ready-to-go changes. I then print out the comments
and store that comments file for future reference, so
at any point I can go back, say 2-3 years, to see why
a change was made (and who authorized or suggested it).
