This is basic style guide convention. Allowing moderators are allowed to ignore such a basic style guide convention is effectively giving moderators the power to put words in other peoples mouths.....
Anothe way moderators annotate changes is the "Reason for Edit" while making the edit. The edit history for each post is available to the OP.
Personally, I find this approach less obtrusive to the flow of the discussion. And other don't need spending time trying to guess the reason for the edit. Should just a matter between the OP and the Moderator.
