Yes, that could work, except I believe I may have made a markup error in my
suggestion.  HTML4 has this whole block/inline nesting requirement weirdness
which unfortunately means you can't put an <h4> inside an <a>.

This should work better than what I wrote before (<strong> is the
semantically closest to a heading among the inline elements).

<a href="http://example.com/tags/Food" rel="tag">
<strong>Food rating</strong>:
<span class="rating">4</span> out of 5
</a>

Yes, that is a good use of a rated tag page.
