Yes, two separate retrievals, and not only two, but one (for the
document retrieval) plus n other requests to n meta information
servers which serve m rating topics (m>=n).
Martin argues as I would. If you want to read some more scalability
arguments for group and public annotations in general, my paper in the
spring 95 WWW conference is available at:

You cannot assume that a content provider will be willing to carry
ratings by others.
True, but if they do offer them, why not consider them, with due caution?
