Heres how it would work:
1.the lego design team would come up with a model built using only parts
from 3 specific sets.
Examples that would work
the alpha team helicopter, the alpha team cruiser and the alpha team
atv/sub
the life on mars mono jet, the life on mars t3 trike and the life on
mars solar explorer

Hmmm you forget Technic..


basicly any group of 3 sets from the middle range of a system theme
would work (but only from 2001 lines otherwise the sets wont be
available anymore)


Ok but maybe you could re-releas older classic sets in grouped packs?

2.lego puts the instructions for the set online

With a copy to brickshelf?  After all us Internet active lego(R) scan there
frewquently.  And this might solve the limitation on older sets not being
available.

3.lego makes small posters with a picture of the model, a url to
download it from and details of the required sets and such and
distributes lots of copies to toystores to hand out to customers

And a parts list?

And it wouldnt cost lego that much to do, plus as I said they get extra
sales out of it (in theory)

Extra sales would be popular to lego(R) but there might be those that woudl
see the idea of combo instructions as a marketing ploy to sell more
'useless' Jr in some people's eyes.
Thankfully TLC/TLG semms to have realized the mistake over Jr given the
current range..
