I for one frequently review my comments well after the fact to correct stupid mistakes in the wording which I failed to catch the first time around.

I agree that this is a legitimate use of the edit feature. Because there are such legitimate uses, I favor allowing edits, but keeping a public history so that abuses can be called out.

I think that's appropriate, as long as it doesn't leave a more obtrusive mark on the comment itself than is already used.

Perhaps just add a button for 'review edit history'
