The whole idea of a relay is not to give a proper presentation of the conlangs that participate in it; it is a translation game, the results of which are published on a website. That shouldn't of course stop anyone from continuously developing his or her language. After all, even Tolkien made changes in his languages after his books had been published, no? But making changes to a relay text after its publication would destroy the whole relay idea, because it won't give a reliable impression anymore of the stuff someone's successor has been working with. But as I said, I won't mind adding a link to an updated version of the same text. Correcting typos or minor orthographical changes won't be a problem either.
