Well, not having the ability to change submitted documents is I believe a security feature to prevent you from doing bad things, although I accept that this is inconvenient at times.

I thought of a different way to get to the same results in #756. The idea would be to have a global switch to toggle a provisional mode and submitted documents while in provisional mode could be un-submitted and edited to correct for errors. And once everything is all right, the provisional mode could be turned off and submitted documents would become permanently submitted.
