Absolutely. I'm sure lots of people do like I do, and make notes of 
errors on a pad of paper, and correct the log after the contest is over, 
or perhaps during an off-time.

Can you give references to this rule?

Looking at:
CQ WW DX <http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com/cqwwwrules.html>, shows no such 
rule.

CQ WPX <http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/n8bjq/2000RULES.htm>, 
shows no such rule. 

ARRL General Rules 
<http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/rules-all.html>, shows no 
such rule.

If it is a rule, that's great, let's enforce it. If, however, no such 
rule is published, let's not get ourselves worked up into a frenzy about 
it.

I don't see any rule prohibiting this, either.
