I would like to offer a dissenting view: adding more rep-related info will have the unintended, and undesirable, effect of encouraging users to focus excessively on their nodes' reps. I think the system is already brilliantly tuned as it is in the amount of information it provides and to whom. I wouldn't mess with it.
What I would like to see is the ability to cast a 0 vote that would enable the person casting the vote to see how a particular node is being received by the Monastery (i.e. the node's rep). It often happens that I think a node is mediocre (though not so bad as to deserve a downvote), but I am still curious to know whether other monks share my assessment. Then I'm faced with the unpleasant choice of either down-voting a node that I don't think is so bad that it deserves such treatment, or, alternatively, up-voting the node, which is even less deserved. Being able to cast a 0 vote would solve this problem. I'd be happy to forgo any probability of voting-dependent XP gain from voting neutral, which may be a desirable way to discourage such votes without outright ruling them out (as is the case now).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
