As for the yellow warning triangle, I'd hesitate to make the "wrongness" of not having a source so strongly marked. (That level probably ought to be reserved for real errors -- conflicts, impossibilities, etc.) The more subtle psychological almost-but-not-quite-there feel to the greyed-out text seems to be not quite so grating. But that's just me. :) Anyway, I'll try to get some prototypes up soon so we can see if this grey-out idea actually works.

I like having that notion that something is "wrong" when there aren't sources, and that will lead people to fix it. Another might be to badge it with a warning yellow triangle, or things like that.
