I've heard of schools that require a test applicant to perform as ike as well as demonstrate techniques as nage.
This seems like a step in the direction you talk about.

Also, Aikido Today Magazine's current issue interviews 3 European teachers ,(Jan Nevelius, Frank Ostoff and Jorma Lyley) who are attracting a following there and in the US by advocating an emphasis on uke's role, among other things.

Great article!
