There's the problem of the reverse-engineering clause that makes it 
impossible for you to release the non-substantial extract as pure PD or 
even Share-Alike because the user must be told that they cannot 
recombine large amounts of such extracts.

Your hypothetical machine would be constantly serving insubstantial 
exctracts. Not much different from the API call that gets you a way with 
all its nodes really. And not a problem for anybody. The extracts would 
be free to use with no restrictions except the reverse engineering clause.
