I won’t argue the “legitimacy” bit, that I can understand – and of course I am generally picky (read: no new links) about who we link with.
Again, without going into detail, I still see a major fault with this because it is something that is not “closed” – ie. a webmaster can decide whether or not to use this “nofollow” tag. This by extension will skew results anyhow. If it is not something that can be applied across the board (ie. internally) it is not a good idea.

links that don’t have the no follow tag now are more legitimate (which is a danger as mentioned above: spamming blogs that don’t use the tag becomes a bit more valuable)
Exactly. That’s what I was referring to when I mentioned skewed results ( after re-reading your post LOL )
