Sounds like it is worth a try.  I don't think that I am a good enough 
writer to actually write documentation, but yes, I could also add a few 
comments here and there about things that could use improvement (or was 
missing) or rewrite a paragraph or two.  Especially if I was reading some 
documentation and found a problem.  Much better than clogging up BugZilla 
with documentation bugs.

Are the Docs for GB_English different from the ones from US_English.  Well 
it shouldn't be enough to prevent comments.
