I've now implemented this. Please check that I done it right!  Highlights:

* I removed <rendition> from att.internetMedia (anyone who wants to 
describe their rendition by means of an MPEG movie is going to be 
disappointed) in favour of an explicit list of possibilities viz "css", 
"xslfo" "free" and "other" for the @scheme attribute

* I expanded the discussion of how <rendition> is to be used at HD57 and 
ST considerably.

* you can now specify a default rendition using @render on tagUsage and 
override it using @rendition on any element (I considered briefly 
renaming the latter to @render also, but seem to recall that this wasnt 
a popular idea in our previous discussion)

* the text now says (twice) that if you supply both @rendition and 
@rend, the latter wins. But doesn't explain much of what that might 
mean, since we don't really know what @rend means anyway.
