I support Adam's idea too! Since mul.ws would be a project that affects all languages (or at least those who would want to use it to store their multilingual works), we could create a discussion page about this, and ask both the editors of oldwikisource and the members of the Wikisource User Group to give feedback about the move oldwikisource->mul.
That way wikidata could be deployed earlier without having to wait for an implementation that might take a looong time to happen.
