I think you feel as I do, that @rend is not the way to do this; it 
should be @rendition or @style. But we're only attempting to provide a 
smooth migration path for users from the old system.

One alternative is to provide these values as a suggestion in the source 
code only, with a strong recommendation that they ONLY be used for cases 
where a project is being migrated from @type, and that all new projects 
should use @rendition/@style.

Cheers,
Martin
