[tei-council] rendering of attributes in specs

[Kevin Hawkins]

I agree on making it easy to scan.  While I realize that my way takes up 
lots of space, the vertical arrangement makes it easy to scan the list 
of all attributes allowed, whether they are inherited from a class or 
locally defined.  It's odd to have to read horizontally and then switch 
to vertically, and it's even weirder if they aren't all rendered in the 
same typeface.  --K.
