If watching people do stuff gave you skills then everyone would be an expert actor, hockey or(insert your sport here) player, musician and public speaker from watching TV and other perfomers.  A large part of skills is practice.

I say shared party xp should be general XP only.  This would save a lot of effort, is close enough to realistic to be fun instead of a pain, and is not nearly as prone to abuse.  Again if there is not enought incentive/goodies linked to general XP already it is always possible to make more...
