I've been trying to think of a way to do that with CSS, since currently I'd
like to indent things based on a "level" variable passed through the
template (and to complicate things, I'd like to max out at a certain point
to avoid right-margin squish, considering that in a couple of cases the
threads nest over two hundred levels deep).

With (one assumes) a rating system with its own ceiling, though, you could
go with img src="blahblah/star<TMPL_VAR name="rating">.gif" or what have
you, and just have a set of graphics with star1.gif having one star,
star2.gif having two stars, and so forth.
