I would modify the PageRank "link juice" calculation so that it was based not on how much "link juice" flowed to a page, but rather on how much flowed through a page.

This would put a stop to the silly "nofollow" linking craze and the PR-hoarding that is Balkenizing the Web.

I'm sure that some kind of balance between "to-juice" and "through-juice" will be needed, since there are some legitimate kinds of pages that won't have many outbound links. But if the Web is to remain a Web instead of becoming a huge collection of end-stubs, then that's a fairly easy fix.
