[tei-council] rendition/rend proposal

[Lou Burnard]

I think this is essentially a lovely proposal,which I see no difficulty 
in integrating into P5 1.0. I have the following minor reservations:

a) when I print it on A4 paper the right hand edge of each page 
disappears. Tsk tsk.

b) @rendition is not such a nice name. Would @style be better (OK I know 
it's exactly not what HTML @style is but @class would be really 
confusing)? @rendPtr ? @render ?

@render has the implied semantics that this is how you should render the 
document, not how it was originally rendered. On the other hand I am not 
sure that maintaining this distinction is sustainable anyway: most 
production systems that I know of will take what the TEI document says 
about source rendition and use it to determine the output rendition anyway.
