Although that scale is a big improvement, it still lacks in some areas. Take religion for example.
If the opionee for some reason is religious (say he is a firm beliver in CC, not other softdrinks) of the topic - this must somehow be described so that the less valued (of the opionee) messurment in other messurments can be easier to compare.

I believe that I represented the strength of the opinion illustrated by a negative-to-positive scale. It could just as well have been Likes potatoes |---||--------------| Likes CC |------------------||
Since the x-scale you suggest is described by the textual description I don't see any purpose (other than the coolnessfactor) to have a XY-scale.
Perhaps we should have a XYZ-scale where the X-scale describes how strong the opinion is, the Y-scale what the opinion is and Z-scale describes how it has changed over time:
