These ideas would probably be better achieved using a browser add-on of some kind.

Not if you want it to be popular (read: IE users, high school and college students, other "normal" people).

(Ok, yes, a browser add-on would be better for someone like me. But I don't think my need is very unique.)

Most people who really care about this functionality are already using external tools to handle it. EndNote and Scrivener come to mind off the top of my head.

But more to the point, the plugin wouldn't make it Wikipedia-only. Doing research involves more than Wikipedia.
