Towards smaller units of discourse

The "the unit of discourse" (UoD) point caught my attention because I've been thinking similarly for some time now. I think it will be fair to say that most experimentalists who have been working in a given area for a considerable extent of time (say 5 yrs or so) would love it if there was a method through which smaller "unit" contributions can be made more frequently and openly, followed by invited peer-reviews for each of those units. This will free up more time to do well-guided experiments!
