Looks good :)

Just a few comments :

1) for the dropdown list for score, perhaps you could refer to
http://www.xaraya.com/newsgroups/article.php?id=68&group=xaraya.knowledge-base
to cover the other ways you can "fill in" that dropdown list

2) using <xar:data-getitem> in the template implies that you'll be
retrieving the dynamic data *twice* - once in the code, and once
again in the template. Probably not the most efficient way of
working :)
But since in the future, all the article properties may very well be
available as objects -so you can choose either the raw value or
the prepared output in the template-, it's probably not a bad idea
to leave this in as it is...
