First of all, this is <b>ed and <br>eakfast markup which is to be avoided.

Better, but still needs fixing:
 * for better semantic XHTML (to fix <b> & <br> abuse)
 * it is missing rel="tag", and
 * "best" is unnecessary since 5 is the default best.

<a style="display:block" href="http://example.com/tags/Food" rel="tag">
<h4 style="display:inline">Food rating</h4>:
<span class="rating">4</span> out of 5
</a>

Note that I inlined the necessary CSS style properties to achieve the
presentation that was previously achieved with the presentational tags <b> &
<br>.  Ideally that styling would be done via a style sheet.

Correct.

This is so that the user can click on them and see what the reviewer *means*
by "Food".  That example.com/tags/Food page could for example explain
precisely what 1,2,3,4,5 means in terms of a Food rating.

No problem.  It's good to make things explicit.

Thanks,
