Sure. What I meant was interpretative categories related to the 
rendition of the document but at the same time not as procedural as 
'italic bold'.

So for instance if I have two different tables and they both contain 
images of text, my @type could be used to specify the type of text they 
contain (e.g. images of different scribal abbreviations vs. images of 
different scribal headings), while my @rend could be used to say that 
both tables contain images of text and therefore have different 
rendition from those that contain other type of images.
