Should `rend' then be a means of passing CSS to a processor?

Not necessarily CSS. I used those values as example.

I see a lot of people using the `rend' attribute as a means of dumping in presentational instructions, when it should be used as a means of describing the original:

Of course, you should use rend judiciously, and only to preserve the rendition of the original when you feel it needs recording. If we are going to define a set of values we will most probably end up with something resembling CSS very much. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
