I disagree. In an informal setting (e.g. a blog), I don't mind small
changes like case or spelling corrections to go unbracketed, but in a
formal setting (e.g. an online academic paper), all changes should be
denoted. I never ran into the wordwrapping problem mentioned above,
because when I changed the case, I just bracked the whole word, e.g.
"[This]"
