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.
