[tei-council] Should Roma be doing this?

[James Cummings]

I thought this sounded familiar ;-)

 Is the page by the way of things we've decided are too disruptive for P5.

When we discussed this very question at the last f2f, we came to
precisely this conclusion (that all the functions of @type are
renditional [and in fact effectively HTML-renditional] and should
therefore be moved to @rend and family, thereby freeing up @type if
anyone wants to typologize lists in ways that aren't currently catered
for), but it was generally agreed that this would be too disruptive, and
so we started a page somewhere on the Wiki of decisions to be deferred
for P6.

The one decision we did make was to standardize on one of
"numbered"|"ordered" (probably to the former, but I don't remember and
haven't checked the minutes).

I've been a bit bemused by the fact that we've now revisited this
question on the list at least twice since Oxford. I'm not sure we're
*ever* going to agree to break tei:list this badly before P6, are we?
