[tei-council] P5 use of rend in examples

[Pierazzo, Elena]

Ok, it is still WE but here I am: I give up on front of the 49 emails I
found this morning.

+1, unless it is explicitly stated something like: "different project may
use different vocabularies, for instance you can use "it" or "italic",
like in the example below..." I.e. Use the diversity as a pedagogically
explicit statement.
I think to use CSS vocabulary is a good idea: consistent, well known etc.
etc.  

My understanding if rendition is that it was meant to host a fragment of
CSS, for instance <p rendition="text-indent:1.5cm; font-size:12pt"> or
<seg rend="text-weight="bold"> rather that words from the CSS vocabulary
such as <seg rend="bold">, but I may be mistaken: I was never sure of the
distinction I hate to admit...
