I'm thinking  of adding the following para to Lite, where @rend is 
discussed:

"
<p>The global <att>rend</att> attribute can be attached to any element, 
and used wherever necessary to specify details of the highlighting used 
for it. For example, a heading rendered in bold might be tagged 
<code>&lt;head rend="bold"&gt;</code>, and one in italic
        <code>&lt;head rend="italic"&gt;</code>.
</p>
<p>The values to be used for the <att>rend</att> attribute are not 
specified by the TEI Guidelines, since they will depend entirely on the 
needs of the particular project. Some typical values might include 
<code>italic</code>, <code>bold</code>, <code>sup</code>(erior) 
<code>smcap</code> etc. for font variations; <code>centre</code>, 
<code>right</code> etc. for alignment; <code>large</code>, 
<code>small</code> etc. for size. Several such words may be used in 
combination as necessary, but no formal syntax is proposed. The full TEI 
Guidelines also provide more rigorous mechanisms, using other W3C 
standards such as CSS, as an alternative. </p>

All in favour?
