It IS about
PR, link text and everything to do with a link that doesnt have the nofollow attribute. What caravan is wanting to know about is
PR transfer, if he removes the nofollow will his
PR plummet and SERPs suffer? Or will the boost in content (mostly from the dofollow crew) override this issue? I would like to know as well!

Just a quick note on the google/yahoo nofollow thing. The
nofollow blog test that i did proved several things (full report on its way).
Google DOES NOT follow "nofollow" links (like they claim - well done G!). They also place no weight on the link text with regards to the destination page. Yahoo however did cache and index the page at the end of the nofollow links. So they do follow "nofollow" links. But they appear to place no weight on the anchor text of said link.
