Transmission of epigenetic traits in animals

Rassoulzadegan et al. now describe "RNA-mediated non-mendelian inheritance of an epigenetic change in the mouse." Nature. Of course, Renato Paro showed non-mendelian inheritance in animals (in an artifical system) some time ago (Cavalli and Paro, 1999 PubMed ID 10542150, Science) in a paper that I used in my graduate genetics class.
