As I've been pointing out though, unless you eliminate communication
between characters, there is no way for the game to know what a
character knows. It's not possible without AI far more sophisticated
than what we have now.

Sure, I understand your motivation and I fully sympathise with it. I
don't go as far as John Buehler does, insfar as I do want a world of
interactive characters, but I'm just suggesting it is a futile effort
in a MUD of any size.

I guess I don't see much of a problem. If I was that worried about
roleplaying, I wouldn't have repeatable quests, as they are ridiculous
from a roleplaying perspective.
