I actually considered votingapi_field for nodereview's next version, but 
decided against it because votingapi_field puts its interface on the view 
display of a node rather than the edit display.  It's a field for reviewing 
the node the field is on rather than for being part of a node that is a 
review.  That's fine for some cases, but not for the sort of things that 
nodereview is aimed at.

That said, I do want to move nodereview toward a more "new age Drupal" setup 
(CCK fields and value-add and so on); I just don't know how yet.

which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
