Two thoughts...
1) The aggregate snippet doesn't appear to be formatted correctly
the plugin puts "count" as a child of "rating", but according to the google docs, it should be a child of "hreview-aggregate".
2) Is there plan of adding front_page blog ratings as a feature?
I'm currently using wp_gdsr_blog_rating() to place the data on my front page, but having this as an option would be nice :)
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-star-rating/
Documentation is not clear on all elements, and I mostly used texts from knowledge base for formating output to allow non-standard values (different then default 5). Anyway, all types pass the testing tool, so for now it's OK. If they make changes to specification, I will sure make changes.
As for the front page ratings to use calculated blog rating, that's great idea, and I will add this in next release.

Great! That's good to hear!
The plugin has the hReview elements hidden. Is there a way to make it visible? Isn't it required by Google to be visible text?
Thanks.

They are changing parsing for this element all the time, and maybe now it's required to be visible. At this moment there are no settings to make it so. In the time I implemented that, invisible elements were also parsed by Google.
Hmm, I have it on my e-commerce http://www.anka-bizuteria-sklep.pl implemented. When WordPress will be ready? I'd like to use this feature on my blog: http://www.anka-bizuteria.pl
p.s.
You can see effect via Google tools:

My plugin ads the code properly as you see from results. But, Google has discretion on using ratings in results, and it's still very, very selective and only some websites are in results with ratings. Not much to do, until Google changes policy on this and allow more website to be included.
