The objective was to give a standardized replacement strategy for people 
moving from @type (where we did declare suggested values) and @rend. I 
think if there is any value in having the Stylesheets render lists in 
predictable ways, then there have to be predictable values for @rend. We 
don't have to declare them in a valList, but if we don't override @rend, 
we have nowhere to suggest them other than in remarks, which is not ideal.

It depends on the release date, really, and we don't know that yet. The 
only real requirement is that the rendering for the Guidelines (HTML5, 
PDF and ePub) be working; all the other outputs can wait a while.
