The idea is that pp would be more pronounced than your rank in every case (on the site and in game). By making players focus on their raw pp rather than rank there will be less confusion about how the pp system works, as of now ranks fall for various reasons while pp doesn't move. Players tend to get confused when their rank updates after a play and they lose ranks due to other people passing them. By using a more absolute system for performance players are less inclined to get confused.
By "less pronounced", I mean putting rank below/after raw pp or hiding a persons rank a little more (possibly hover over pp to see rank?). Another way of making rank less pronounced would be to replace the rank/time graph with a pp/time graph. I'm sure there are other ways to do this, these are just some ideas.
