Yes, you're absolutely right; de-sicing will require re-examination of the item. That's one of the several reasons I've deferred it until the RDA conversion is over.

Still, you seem to know what you're doing. I'm curious how you're going to manage the de-siccing. You will have to, I presume, look at each instance and decide what to do about it, case-by-case, as (as previously mentioned) some "sic's" are not necessarily errors, just words or phrases likely to be interpreted as such.
