Prestige is a relative thing, and there's nothing more prestigious than Nature (or Science). Your suggestions are good, but I think they would be more likely to be adopted first by a journal that isn't Nature or Science, that possibly wanted to compete with them.

You're probably right. Nature and Science are Nature and Science; they don't need to improve on the status quo because they're already sitting on top.

I hope some lesser journal becomes greater, and soon.
