When you  merge the wording of the GFDL requires that you preserve the

If most users *can't* do this, then I'd say we really have no choice but to  
ignore that part of the GFDL.
 
We are supposed to be writing a project that all users can write without  the 
threat of being sued for some obscure technical flaw.  If our software  
cannot compensate for that, that is the fault of the foundation, not of the  
editors.  Unless we are suddenly going to proclaim that "only bureaucrats  can 
merge!" or whatever.
