Okay, have done, and tested the results, per consensus of your feedback plus
Lou's caveat about not restoring tagsDecl to TEI Lite (and therefore TEI Tite).

Just a couple of notes:

1. I realized that the complaint about teiCorpus being unreachable was simply
owing to its lack in <schemaSpec start=""> in several modules where it might
reasonably be expected to be available.  As chapter 15.1 of the Guidelines
recommends it for a wide variety of anthology-like uses, it really should be
available except in stripped-down schemas or ones clearly intended for markup
of single texts (ODD Authoring for example). So I added it to several of the
exemplars that didn't have it.

2. I added to TEI Tite but did *not* add to teilite.odd the following
to remove @rendition from the global attributes (as no <rendition>
element is avaiable to point to):

      <classSpec ident="att.global" type="atts" mode="change" module="tei">
        <attList>
          <attDef ident="rendition" mode="delete"/>
        </attList>
      </classSpec>

I'd suggest that it be added to teilite.odd as well, since use of @rendition is
not documented in the TEI Lite tutorial. As it is, folks using oXygen or another
schema-aware editor may be puzzled about why '@rendition' is an available 
attribute on any element.
