When you merge the wording of the GFDL requires that you preserve the

If most users *can't* do this, then I'd say we really have no choice but to
ignore that part of the GFDL.
We are supposed to be writing a project that all users can write without the
threat of being sued for some obscure technical flaw. If our software
cannot compensate for that, that is the fault of the foundation, not of the
editors. Unless we are suddenly going to proclaim that "only bureaucrats can
merge!" or whatever.
