Just to have a try: imagine to install proofread extension and to add
Index: and Page: namespaces into Commons, and to allow users to use Commons
as an optional proofreading lab.

No more painful alignement of Authors' metadata: there is Creator
nmespace/template.
No more painful setting & aligning of book metadata: there is Book template.
No more painful localization: there is a powerful set of localization
templates/scripts.
No more need for trick for multi-lengual books: they would be as simple as
mono-lengual ones.

Obviously such Commons books need to be fully shared - as html rendering -
into any wikisource project, just adding a message "Work can be edited in
Commons", jus as it happens for shared media.
