Referring to:

"An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this License,
and if all works that were first published under this License somewhere
other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or in part into
the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus
incorporated prior to November 1, 2008."

I get the feeling that your reading of this section is not completely
accurate. "First published somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently
incorporated..."  What specific types of content do you suppose that applies
to?
