[mb-style] RFC: StylePrinciple Reasoning

Having read http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/StylePrinciple I thought the
"Reasoning" section was pretty poorly phrased.

Current:

There are enough cases of record companies mucking up track listings
or even artist names (see some of the Front Line Assembly releases
sometime), or creating new imaginary words for stylistic purposes that
it makes much more sense to fix these things. I think that we
generally value spelling and punctuation correctness over cover
accuracy.

Suggestion:

There are many cases of record companies making errors with track
titles or even artist names (e.g. some of the Front Line Assembly
releases), or creating new imaginary words for stylistic purposes. In
such cases it often makes sense to fix the errors, valuing spelling
and punctuation correctness over cover accuracy.

Comments?
