Far more likely this was an internal draft that an employee was horrified by.

Yeah, and crucially, all of the talk of WotC wanting to revoke OGL 1.0 as applied to existing material is speculation based on the leaked draft discussing its authorization -- there's no specific language claiming it is "revoked". My guess would be that they want to make it clear that despite clause 9, you can't distribute 1.1 material under the 1.0 license.
It's a clusterfuck of 1. The leaked license has some really shitty terms in it
2. Folk might be misinterpreting one particular part to mean something other than intended, but its getting the main focus right now (and also treated as absolute fact!)
3. It's leaked so WotC was completely unprepared to answer questions and/or do PR around this
If I was e.g. Paizo I would be very urgently demanding clarification, but since I'm not I'm content to wait and see what happens without getting too outraged, yet.
(I will 100% boycott WotC/D&D/MTG/etc if they actually do try to revoke 1.0 material, though.)
