In practice, this is already being done as I mentioned

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".
