The way I see it, is you can play it safe and DO MORE than is required by a law that has VERY little case history behind it, or you can be a pioneer and push the limits and help bring more definition to these laws.
I will continue to have full 2257 (that means copies fo their IDs, etc.) and all model releases for everyone, even fully clothed, in any of my content. Until there is a CLEAR case history estbalished, I will not take the risk of relying on a content provider to "maintain" the records for me. If I maintain the records myself at least I know that I have all of the required information.
What happens if a provider does not have the appropriate records? Is it my fault, or the providers? Do not speculate here, site specific cases. If you can, than good, I learned something. If you have no citations, then it is just an opinion, and in court your opinion in not likely to help me . . .

Very well thought out reply.
The law is the law however, and it is very clear cut. Going above and beyond is what is going to keep us in business.
I do not know you but you have just earned a great deal of my respect.
