[tei-council] tagUsage/@render

[Kevin Hawkins]

Yes.  The various elements and attributes for describing rendition 
always refer to the source, not intended rendering.  In fact, see the 
definition of <rendition>.

Poking around the guidelines leads me to see that we have been 
inconsistent in our referring to the source as:

source
source document
source text

Would be good to pick one and stick to it.  Since some use the TEI is 
for encoding a platonic object (a source text) and others for an 
artifact (a source document), the best option seems to be "source".
