Right.  It's not that it's "invalid", the markup itself certainly is not in
error.

However, the rating is simply not marked up and thus won't be recognized as
part of the hReview.

Note that the rating uses a single decimal point of precision (as apparently
many real world examples do), and thus can't be marked up in hReview 0.2
accurately.

Thus we are adding a decimal point of precision to hReview 0.3.
