Peter,

I thought that was Perelman's stance but when I was writing the entry this morning I couldn't find a confirmatory reference. Why I didn't check Open Access News is beyond me. Thank you for pointing this out.

You are absolutely right that Perelman would most likely find PLoS ONE too 'conventional'. However, unlike him, the vast majority of scientific disciplines aren't embracing arXiv and its philosophy. PLoS ONE is aimed more at these disciplines, trying to provide them with the benefits of open, retroactive review but in a way that they will find more attractive.
