"Straightforward" is a great term.

Something I'd like to see in whatever replaces Elsevier & Friends is a community markup tool for all papers. Wherever a step has been omitted the community can step in and add a side note explaining and discussing the steps. This would have three huge benefits:

* Easier for neophytes to learn a paper's domain and assumed knowledge.

* Ready-made useful homework assignments for advanced undergrads and grad students: "Fill in the details of this paper."

* Ongoing "reviewing" of papers, leading to more corrected errors.
