Though it's hard to find on the wiki, there is a list of real world  
examples of reviews:

http://microformats.org/wiki/reviews-formats

In addition to not explicitly stating the lower bound (as Paul  
mentioned), I don't see a single example in that list that uses 1 as  
a lower bound.  Which raises the question: why was 1 used as the  
default lower bound?  I'd look for an answer on the brainstorming  
page, but I haven't found it yet.

Peace,
