If they get bothered about such things it's their problem.  How can you 
broadly presume how anyone wants to read Wikipedia?  If they're that 
concerned maybe they should be writing it.

Judging from the tone of the discussion, it seems that if your scheme is 
adopted you would be the only one using it.  The ultimate test of a 
technological solution to a human problem is whether people use it, not 
its technical soundness.
