Epijournals? Yes please! See this post by Tim Gowers and this article by Rich Van No. Besides the whole journals-being-free thing, there's another possible fantastic idea waiting to get out. From Gowers:
"One possibility being discussed, which I am very much in favour of, is each accepted article having not just a link to the arXiv but also a web page for (non-anonymous) comments and reviews. For example, the editor who accepts an article might wish to write a paragraph or two about why the article is interesting, a reader who spots a minor error might write explaining the error and how it can be fixed (if it can), and an expert in the area might write a review that could be very useful to hiring committees."
