Makes sense. So the proper solution is probably to declare a new 
superclass of att.global called att.styling or some such containing 
@rend @rendition @style and have att.global inherit that. That class can

Makes good sense too!

I don't mind having a go at my proposed solution above if people feel 
strongly that absence of the proposed value list would be a release breaker
