Hi Kavi, I've reviewed the hreview-aggregate page and it is an
excellent first draft.

Thanks very much for writing this up.

Do you have documentation of real-world examples of sites that
separately publish number of votes/ratings and reviews?

We should collect URLs to those examples in the
aggregate-review-examples page to make sure we are
modeling/brainstorming/proposing something that is designed
specifically for what is actually published today.
