Even more alternative solution: move it off of Wikipedia altogether, to the webspace of some brave soul who would be happy to post a list of "articles EB has that Wikipedia does not" (they could even pretend it was an anti-Wikipedia page!). One could easily imagine a script which would cycle through the articles once every few days and check if they are still red-linked, and move the filled in ones to a different section of the page. Hell, I'll *write* that script if nobody else will. Then we can forget the whole question. If someone will host it. (I'd host it myself if I had any webspace of my own which could support it)
I really don't see why this can't be hosted on Wikipedia, for the reasons you state. The fact that it's in Wikipedia: space as well makes it clear this is a working document, not product. If it's decided it can't be hosted on Wikipedia, I have plenty of places to put it, thatn can run cron jobs to run scripts to update it and so forth. (Though I'd have a hard time pretending to be anti-Wikipedia ;-) But I do think it belongs on Wikipedia if at all possible.
