Wow, that Registered Reports thing sounds like a fabulous idea. I think it could be an interesting solution to the problem that it's really hard to publish things that don't work. Several times I've read papers thinking "hmm, this might be worth trying", and then talking to the authors you hear "no, no, it's a crappy method, try that other thing instead".
