@Whooda: I don't know the document you're talking about, but this is a sensible issue in the opening of the archives in Latin American countries regarding the military dictatorships. Things get converted to digital and then launched to the public out of context and sometimes with no guarantee that the document was not altered in some way. Most of the times not, but besides an institutional imprint somewhere, you don't have a safeguard that the document won't lent itself easily to misuse (but any document can be misused...oh boy)

@Whooda: Yeah, it's part of the digital thing.
