To answer to the open questions:

(In reply to comment #5)

I don't see that it is practically possible to propagate data back to
Wikisource. Rather, this would be used to perform initial OCR for Wikisource,
perhaps primarily for works where machine-based OCR would be ineffective.

I don't see that it would be any less effective than the current captcha.

Actual dataset used on Wikipedia doesn't need to be publicly available.

I don't see how could an attacker add entries to the dataset. Actual dataset
used on Wikipedia would probably be tightly controlled.

I don't see that it would be any less effective than the current captcha.
