use the rel nofollow attribute on these service links from the home page, but not use them on links from some inner pages

Moi aussi - it's not that I want to orphan these pages, but if I can send them less PR and others more then great. The clients want these links prominent so removing them from the template is not an option.

Has anyone from an SE said anything even slightly detrimental about use of nofollow internally, even after the PR sculpting experiment was published? I don't follow these things daily, but I've yet to read anything.

I like Tedster's iframe idea too and have used that - sort of like an invisible include file. But doing this (or using Javascript to import links) means that in Analytics the site overlay showing click data doesn't work because the links are no longer in the code file - and that is handy information. So I only use iframes for boilerplate text or for search functions to minimise code bloat.
