Spreading the high page rank over all these outgoing links leaves very little for site Z. Is DMOZ weighed heavily elsewhere in Goolgles ranking of sites or is its importance just a myth?

It's called the google directory- not the same thing as DMOZ.
The "published page rank formula" isn't a formula, but a conceptual guideline. Search around. Notice that a variety of algorithms experts have their own theories about what constitutes "the formula."

Currently Adultreview.net, one of my sites, is in a holding pattern while waiting for DMOZ acceptance. If DMOZ does nothing important, webmasters should stop wasting their time complying with the strict standards of the open directory.
