Worse than that. Technically most EU countries should have identical moral rights clauses. Implementation of the clauses is inconsistent and in many cases there is a lack of caselaw (although the lawsuit over changing a bridge design failed).

There's a reason for the lack of caselaw, even though implementation among Berne signatory countries is inconsistent -- it's that truly problematic moral-rights problems don't come up very much. What's more, even if our own follow-through on attribution requirements of GFDL (or CC-BY-SA) is less than it might be, the thing to note is that we're actively trying to maintain attribution, even though a massively collaborative environment such as Wikpedia makes such an effort both difficult and (arguably) less than meaningful. Most moral-rights disputes arise in cases where someone is actively trying to *remove* attribution or to *misattribute* a work. That's not normally our problem.

For the average wikipedian on the ground the issue is less one of what you can handle or find people to handle (I generally assume that the foundation can deal with pretty much any copyright issues should it have to)

It's nice to know somebody assumes that.
