Surely if the editor was unable to make the edit but fully intended to at the 
earliest opportunity he could have simply emailed the working group to that 
effect no?

So it is not possible for the editor to put back time in his copy and overwrite 
the current W3C copy? Thus undoing all the harm.

I thought that would result in the appropriate outcome and am not understanding 
why that would be such a technical challenge?
