Actually, we do somewhat require it for direct quotations, we're supposed to reference it. Couldn't we simply throw a <ref> on it with the attribution in the references area? Seems like the best of both worlds, IMO.
Still leave us with the text image inequality, but at least that would make it unugly. The problem then becomes that were seriously overloading rev... Already it's hard enough to tell if an article has any sources.
