An open rating scheme should include a field to indicate the  
Confidence Level (from 0 to 1) for the submitter before being passed  
back to the sender.  The Confidence Level could be tabulated when  
resolving issues related to erroneous categorizations.  To assist in  
this effort, these tabulation could be based upon a type of ARF that  
challenges an ARF. (ARF-Challenge).

Such a scheme should improve the quality of the response  
information.  At the same time, this might also help detect and  
defuse accounts used to game the system.
