I haven't had a lot of occasion to use elements in att.naming, but it 
seems to me that for the majority of them (cf. 
http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/P5/Guidelines-web/en/html/ref-att.naming.html), 
a @role attribute is at best unnecessary and at worst confusing. I would 
vote "orthodox" on that account.
