Tantek, thanks for reviewing the hreview-aggregate draft. Per your suggestion, I've added several examples of sites that have separate counts for the number of ratings/votes and the number of reviews. The examples are here: http://microformats.org/wiki/aggregate-review-examples#Ratings_without_reviews_examples
And to re-iterate the problem and proposal -- it's valuable to be able to differentiate between the number of reviews on a page vs the number of votes that contribute towards an average rating. For example, a page with 4 reviews is much more interesting than a page with 4 votes and 0 reviews. We'd like to extend the hreview-aggregate schema to include some method of differentiating these two different counts. The proposal is to add a new property called "votes"; more details are here: http://microformats.org/wiki/aggregate-review-brainstorming#Reviews_vs_ratings As before I'm happy to hear feedback on the proposal or any alternatives.
