Yeah -- what Dan said. I don't mean to send the entire _history_ with all
the timestamps, but rather to send the raw data up to that point -- all the
raw values -- (which is almost like the whole history) -- so that the client
can calculate a rating however it sees fit.

I'm not sure what you mean by full rating, but I'm thinking something like
this:
lugnet.foo.bar 40 60 70 70 80
lugnet.bar.baz 70
lugnet.glorp.gnort 80 80 90 90 90 90 90 90 100 100 100
or equivalently but more compactly
lugnet.foo.bar 40 60 70x2 80
lugnet.bar.baz 70
lugnet.glorp.gnort 80x2 90x6 100x3
It'll be up to the client to add the 50's (or whatever value they choose).
Then, if, let's say, lugnet.bar.baz gets rated 80 by a second human, then the
following would be included in the list after that point in time:
lugnet.bar.baz 70 80
And then later if someone came along and rated it 40, it would show this
after that point:
lugnet.bar.baz 40 70 80
And then later if someone erased their 70, it would show this after that
point:
lugnet.bar.baz 40 80
So, something like that. Each time an article's rating changes, it needs to
flag that article with the timestamp of the change, and then be able to spit
back that article as part of a list of articles whose ratings have changed
past some specified timestamp.
