These links shouldnt be ranked and indexed in the first place. Google should figure this out. Dont let Google fool you into thinking nofollow IS NOW someway of hording
PR from page to page. It was initially developed for the reasons listed above.

I do believe outbound linking is a part of the Google algo, but to waste all your time nofollowing certain links doesnt make much sense to me. I feel Google should be able to weight and figure out the relevancy of my outbound links themselves.
