Just wanted to raise this topic one more time. Please let me know if you have any feedback on the proposal to extend hreview-aggregate to allow sites to differentiate between the number of individual reviews there are vs the number of votes towards an aggregate rating (where a vote may or may not have an associated individual review).
Proposal: http://microformats.org/wiki/aggregate-review-brainstorming#Reviews_vs_ratings Motivating examples: http://microformats.org/wiki/aggregate-review-examples#Ratings_without_reviews_examples I'm planning on updating the hreview-aggregate draft within the next few days.
