“The Holy Father looked for a solution and found a wide-reaching one which took into account the Anglican Churchs ecclesial and liturgical traditions.

This sounds like a draconian threat. I mean this guy has legions of albino monk assassins at hand, as well as a supercomputer with all the Protestant names and locations. A guy with those resources then says that he would only consider making a special provision for a group wanting to join his group if and when that group asks for such a provision? We can only imagine the carnage if such a group decides not to ask.
