That is also true. One could make an argument that we already 
provide suggested values for other attributes documenting aspects 
of rendering in the original. e.g. @place in att.placement has a 
long list.  Why is @rend on <list> different from @place on 
<note> or <stage>?  I'm not really making an argument here, just 
playing devil's advocate.
