Web service
The XMLWebService has been updated in order to allow to retrieve or update rating via WS in a similar way to how FolksonomyTagging works.
Either by the new /rating resource for submitting/retriving one specific rating:
wget --user=<editor name> --password=<password> --post-data=id=8f6bd1e4-fbe1-4f50-aa9b-94c450ec0f11\&entity=artist\&rating=3 http://test.musicbrainz.org/ws/1/rating
or by using the new inc parameters ratings, user-ratings with the artist, label, release or tracks resources as described in XMLWebService.
