Seems like it could be a good direction. My only concern is users thinking that potentially incorrect information being highlighted is that some users may see it as important information because it's highlighted (that would be my initial impression since I always highlight important text). Hope they add some type of CSS rule that will explain it could be incorrect when the mouse is moved over the text.

I hope this steers wikipedia in the right direction. I still won't trust anything on there, though   :)
