Re: Tech. reviewers who copy edit
I agree with the others that what you're encountering is not unusual during the review process. One question, though, about your sign-off sheet. Do you include a checkbox for the subject matter expert (SME) that reads "Content is technically correct, except where indicated" and include a place for his/her initials or signature. I find that a check-off worded this way is much more effective than just a check-off that reads "I have reviewed the document" or something very general like that.
We do have a sign-off sheet we routinely attach to documents to be
reviewed, making it clear what sort of feedback we want.
