I don't see any debate whether this desirable with
contributors from over 15 languages

http://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Vote_on_enabling_the_ProtectSection_extension

As to whether there is current interest, it depends on
whether "stable versions" will work for us or not.  I
believe "stable versions' will do the trick but some
people want to see a woking model first.  Besides this
possibility, no one has ever found an alternate
solution to "protect section".  Without it we have
been forced to protect the entire page which is very
undesirable.

As to the rest, thanks for your explanation.  I know
there is no easy answer to this.  I did put this out
on foundation-l more to try and see if others are
having the same problems than to goad you.  But I will
not complain if sometthing gets more attention due to
it ;)
