I personally think that a central pool (how central? Should it be common to all languages of Wikipedia, almost like the Wikimedia Commons?) is a subproject too big to be implemented inside Wikipedia.
I think it should be central to all languages. I've seen several articles that reference, say, Portuguese documents, on the English Wikipedia. I don't see how a unique document should be avoided just because it's a different language - in some domains, the other language's document may be the only one on the topic of interest.
I don't know that it's too big for Wikipedia. If it can be done for one wiki, it can be done for a family with minimal change, unless someone designed a monster.
