I would suggest that neither is used. The vast majority of reviews
on the
web exist in sites like Amazon.com and IMDB.com. In these, users
write
reviews and rate the item based on some numerical system, but they
typically
don't state in the text what that rating is. And in most cases,
the rated
value is listed as only an image, with no numerical value
attached. (IMDB
lists an average and upper bound for the aggregate of reviews, but not
individual reviews)
Newegg.com applies a title to a span that contains a number of images.
Though it's hard to find on the wiki, there is a list of real world
examples of reviews:

In addition to not explicitly stating the lower bound (as Paul
mentioned), I don't see a single example in that list that uses 1 as
a lower bound. Which raises the question: why was 1 used as the
default lower bound? I'd look for an answer on the brainstorming
page, but I haven't found it yet.
Peace,
Scott
