O.k., so, it sounds like you're right, we need
patches. Does anyone
know where the "big fany totally redone form" proposal is, so that
someone can code to that spec?
A big totally redone form proposal is part of the Wikimedia Commons idea:

This proposal seeks to provide a simple and quick solution for photos by
Wikipedians while requiring all the necessary information for photos from
outside sources.
If the claim is that something is already in the public domain there
should be no need to "choose a licence". The "choice" to put
something
in the public domain is only menaingful for one's own works, or for
works over which one has acquired full rights as by purchase or
inheritance.
The recent matter of the National Portrait Gallery pictures revolves
around whether those images are copyrightable.
