[tei-council] http://purl.org/tei/fr/3519866 (@rend datatype)

[Gabriel Bodard]

I have no objection to that, if they don't. :-)

That said, I also feel fairly strongly that @rend shouldn't be devalued 
as is being proposed, because it would break (my) existing usage without 
in my view gaining anything, but I don't think that makes me 
unconscionably biased or anything. We all have opinions--let's be proud 
of them! :-)

Good luck!
