RE: SteemReports - The Anatomy of Steem and Steemit
There are 2 problems I can imagine with that:
- I don't think it's currently possible to tell which RPCs relayed each transaction, and adding an extra signature to all transactions would create a lot of extra data.
- Under this proposal, abusive parties could submit extra transactions though their RPC to artificially inflate their share of the RPC rewards.

- would indeed mean a serious upgrade - but this would anyway be major upgrade. I would be surprised though if there wasn't something already because otherwise 2. would already be possible today if the RPC were "transparent" for the blockchain. Not for rewards but a malicious RPC node could try to play all sorts of mischief if the witnesses were not able to tell what RPC node was responsible for what interaction ...
- Not sure, see above. Anyway it would have to be well discussed and analyzed, every detail will matter in the implementation. I think the risk of the status quo (no rewards for running an RPC) is bigger than the risk of a botched implementation of rewards for RPC
