If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend having a look at the linked article in this thread: Matt Cutts and Amit Singhal Share Insider Detail on Farm Update [webmasterworld.com] Nice Find g1smd!

I think quite a bit of what we're seeing has 'document footprinting' factored in, rather than simply 'quality' of the text on the page. I've thought this was the case for a while and the article seems to reinforce that thought.
