Nice, inspiring design, and good suggestions. The feedback Adrian is talking about to facilitate the review can be in the form of colored bullet (with numbers -2 -1 0 1 and 2 in it or with thumbs up/down) next to the answered question (in addition to the button highlight you are suggesting -- I would simply flatten the selected button).
