Google Tweaks the Web's Semantics

Preventing comment spam " From now on, when Google sees the attribute (rel="nofollow") on hyperlinks, those links won't get any credit when we rank websites in our search results. This isn't a negative vote for the site where the comment was posted; it's just a way to make sure that spammers get no benefit from abusing public areas like blog comments, trackbacks, and referrer lists."

If this isn't a top down schema I don't know what is. Can't work? We'll see I guess.
