Guillaume, This is a personal opinion, so take with a grain of salt.
I think that by not giving a user an easy way to edit their post, it could actually lead to a greater chance of abuse. Your suggestion for how to correct spelling errors enables a user to edit anyone's post (not just their own). I know it would be very hard to take the object edition out, as it seems to be in the xwiki engine itself. My suggestion is to go ahead and implement an edit function, perhaps right next to the "quote this message" link, so that users are encouraged to edit their own posts in an easy way. I believe this would prevent users from going on a hunt to find out how to edit and discovering the power that they have in editing objects.
