Yes

I had been assuming the latter. So in the worst case you might have

- @render telling you the font family
- @rendition telling you the size
- @style telling you some other property

Also, I believe the rule is that if the same property gets specified 
more than once, you are supposed to take the last one. so if @render 
says font family is bembo and @style says it is garamond, you believe 
the latter.
