In practice, this is already being done as I mentioned above. The section at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights#Example_notice seems to be widely supported by the community at the English Wikipedia, and a similar statement exists on other projects (see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lizenzbestimmungen#Praktische_Anwendung_in_Online-Medien for example). If this is not the case, then the community needs to make a decision to change the wording, which all contributors are currently agreeing to (since that copyrights page is linked from the edit page).
Some how I managed to omit part of my reply to this... I had also intended to quote from the copyrights page which you say all contributors are currently agreeing to: "The English text of the GFDL is the only legally binding document".
