Because of technical language I didn't get what was the crux of your post. I will try to read it again, to know how the suggestion of your 's will improve steemit.
One thing what I understood is the mentioning of source by using conical link. Please if you can, use some layman terms also to get people like me to understand. I am really applogitic if my opion is offensive.

On Second reading I got it. Yes your suggestions are great. The source must be linked because the third parties mush get their share. If the content is has some other sources, that must be highlighted.
