Strangely, now that I have stored a rating, when I read it back using the
XML web service (using ?inc=user-ratings), it sends me back a 1-5 rating.
So, if I send 80, then query it back, it comes back to me as 4.  Doesn't
seem very consistent.  So, I guess I have to do the scaling back and forth
in code on my end?
