Is NoFollow Really NoFollow?

According to randfish: Danny Sullivan at his SMX Madrid keynote that he felt the engines were probably already “special casing” certain websites and pages that use nofollow on outbound links and “following” them for both discovery and potentially to provide ranking weight. Certainly, they’d have to lie about this in public or risk massive manipulation, but I have to admit, the quality of links on Wikipedia has dramatically improved since they instituted nofollow, and if I were running an engine, those would be links I’d probably want to at least test and probably count.”

Seems interesting .. ;) !!
