Nice write up. I was thinking along similar lines. I like the weak block idea. But that's a huge protocol change.
Maybe you could make the algorithm, such such that a weak block would be accepted if it has a more unlikely hash than the previous weak block. Then once every 10 minutes the network comes to consensus about the luckiest weak block, and it is broadcast as a full block.
Thoughts?
