Hi Daniel,
I think it's a great idea, a serious step for the integration of the Open
Access world with the Wikimedia one. Being born-digital content, I would
support all kinds of "bot-hash" validation, maybe a "human" one is needed
just for formatting or templates.
Looking forward to see these things come true :-)

Aubrey
