The GNU FDL requires that derivative works be released under the FDL. Therefore, the new "fair use" sections would be part of a document released under the FDL.
That's the whole problem we can't release "fair use" material under the GNU FDL as we're not legally capable of allowing people to modify the "fair use" material. The only way to satisfy the legal requirements is for us (a) to declare all "fair use" material as invariant section or (b) not use any "fair use" material.
We don't have to allow them to modify the fair use material, they can modify it anyway! One can *ordinarily* modify fair use, just as I modified Dr. X's statement when I wrote about Churchill. (And one classic example of fair use, parody, is all about modification.)
