I told a mate of mine, Terence Eden, a mobile technologist who writes frequently on his blog about how to do QR codes properly, about this thread.
He's put up a post on his blog with some advice that could help Wikimedia do QR codes properly.
Well 1 and 4 are doable
5 could be done but not in a very user friendly manner (have each QR code coming in by a unique redirect)
The others unfortunately require developer work.
One thing I think we do need is a way to document on wikipedia that such incoming links exist. I've started to put together an implementation although it needs further work. The idea is that it would be used in the form of a talk page header. The various bits can be found at:
