Maybe a first way to implement it and that does not require any 
development effort or complex modifcation of the tool, is simply that 
each reviewer copies and pastes the list of criteria at the beginning of 
the "comments to author" field. He/she provides then rating for each 
point, explains the rating and gives advices to improve the paper just 
below the list.

In addition, the procedure and a text form ready to be filled out could 
be sent together with the review request email. By this way, each 
reviewer (and especially new reviewers) will know exactly how to proceed 
and what kind of review is expected.

Another 2 cents ;-)
