Err. Can I suggest that this be made very conspicuous? In general, people will 
link to sites that they like, and so they contribute to its Google ranking. 
By putting rel=nofollow everywhere, we are breaking this behaviour. My 
thought would be something like having it a part of urlapprove, only, I do 
see the benefit of having it on by default. Perhaps an example in 
sample-config.php that shows how to turn it off.
