The secret ingredient is the frame in which you work.

David's Magical Flying unicorn ponies work very well thank you in
the frame of fairytale fiction.

Flickr's system works -to some degree- within intersection of the
frames of the flickr community, commercial objectives,  and the
laws of physics.

Having a filter for wikimedia projects might be very hard,
without violating some of our basic beliefs along the way. 

How many folks here have actually tried to figure out a solution
to this puzzle given the frame/constraints?

It's really tricky! I keep getting stuck.
