That's where I draw the line: if someone has responded, I should stick by what I wrote and address any "edits" as a followup comment. If there are no responses then I feel like it's fair game.

Correcting simple typos and misspellings is also always fine.

Yep, the interesting part though is that HN is async and sometimes comments roll in while you are editing, so if an edit really is substantial then it is a good idea to flag it as such.
