That is pretty much what I proposed for the SOAP element - it would
contain a tiny indication of what the reviewer thought (such as a -10 to
+10 rating), information on who did the review, and an optional URN to use
to get a full review. All of that could be protected by a digital signature.

<soap> was a special case of <review> to allow sorts of reviews to be put
into URCs.
