I think something along these lines might be ok, so long as its not a significant barrier to progress - I'd hate if every new author had to be an I-D historian, or if anyone who wanted to slow down a document could play the system using this. I have a hard time seeing how that can be done.
They need not be historian, i.e. if they do not know of the existance of prior related work they don't have to site it, but if they do know of the existance of have been alerted about it on public list or in private comments due to their draft, than I'd say acknoledging the work is required.
Anyway, I think this is an area where the tools team could come to the rescue yet again, given the right set of requirements, maybe e.g. including a link to an auto generated list with the IETF LC announcement. (Before anyone asks: I'm not volunteering, but would be happy to chat about it over beer in Prague.)
