Just saw this:
Googlite explains PageRank tweak | The Register
Anyway, my sites have all been
affected and
effected 
(please forgive my word-play)
EFFECTED:- My PR6 sites all went down to PR5
- My PR4 went down to PR3
AFFECTED:- My PR0 went up to PR3
- My PR0 went up to PR4
- PRGrey to PR0
Here is a thought:
One of my PR6 sites is now PR5, and
every sub-page is PR4/PR5 - excluding a sub-page
that had no
crazy content or
sold links (nuthin' like that

) - but it
did have a
banner ad for TLA (Text Link Ads). And again, I've not sold links on it, but
just that one
page had that ad. The content is relevant to the rest of the site - but
only that page is a PRGrey...
Edited to say that this is my experience, and in no way am I saying that if you run TLA ads,
you will definately loose your PR ranking. It's just what I have seen on one of my sites,
and could very well be due to some other influence - just added for Food For Thought...
YMMV
