I whole-heartedly endorse this suggestion, with the reasonable caveats
colleagues have already mentioned: close-proximity matching; edits
batched by region.

I've corresponded with Edward during his prepartory work, and know
that the former is already in place. I've also checked random
instances of his matches, and have found no false positives; indeed,
his cautious approach has been admirable
