This is a model actively used by the cryptographic community (although 
the papers are posted at http://eprint.iacr.org/ instead). It seems to 
work most of the time, though I've seen quite some criticism as well, 
considering that often, proofs are moved to the "full version" (possibly 
avoiding the full scrutiny of peer review).
