The fix however is not to suggest that each copy-editor should read each source. That's a burden that is awfully heavy.
Yes, it is. And in most cases - when the information is straightforward, or available online - it won't be a concern if it isn't followed. But as we get larger, and more information is added that is not available instantly, it will become more necessary to be careful, regardless of the heaviness of the burden.
