Nature Publishing Group to archive on behalf of authors

Nature Publishing Group (NPG) announced today that they will be offering a free service to archive published articles into PubMed Central and UK PubMed Central on behalf of authors. The press release is available here: http://www.nature.com/press_releases/archive.html.

Peter Suber at Open Access News also mentions that NPG is interested in working with institutional repositories (such as IDEALS) as well. This could be a very important development for institutions who are interested in providing wide access to their research and scholarship.
