Timestamp because the server would need to know at what time the client last
asked for the ratings. Changes since a given message number isn't sufficient
because it provides too little information -- it would end up having to report
back more and more each time. You might have 2,000 messages in your reader
and it should be very low-bandwidth to receive an update on a message 3 days
old, if someone goes back and rates it. Your client shouldn't have to endure
(neither should the server) sending a complete copy of the ratings for the
past 2000 messages -- only the ones which have changed since the last time the
client asked. Thus, perhaps message number plus timestamp, but not message
number without timestamp.
