If you look at his early drafts, he altered and crossed out loads of stuff!
But isn't that the point ? AR took such trouble to arrive at the final version, that changes do matter ?
That being said, I agree that new versions are likely to have some words changed to comply with modern usage, but if one changes the name of one bag of dark coloured pearls, doesn't that change the character of the treasure ?
Such names were implied to have been fixed to the bags several decades before the time of the Peter Duck adventure, and thus should remain.
