It would be interesting to see someone, or a number of people, TypeWright collect the multiple ECCO printings/editions of Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects.

I've saved a search with several of these printings here, and it seems that the first edition was corrected by the Text Creation Partnership, so there's great ground truth!

I can easily see a project arising from completing these corrections, gaining the corrected text and TEI from 18thConnect, and using collation software (like Juxta Commons) to compare them in preparation for a digital edition.
