Speaking about it in a more general way these ratings
are no different from other file meta information which,
at present, we have no good way of making available.

This starts to lead into talk about URNs and friends
which I don't care to go in to but I just thought I'd
point out that it doesn't seem reasonable to have a special
purpose mechanism for ratings info since there'll be,
at some point, a general mechanism for meta info.
