I have started thinking about facilitating differentiation between xml:id and apparatus reference for witnesses. Take this sourceDesc:
<sourceDesc>
<listWit>
<witness xml:id="B" n="bal">
Oxford, Balliol College 311, ff. 148r--181v
</witness>
</listWit>
<listBibl>
<bibl xml:id="A">
<name>Oyarzabal Aguinagalde, Manuel</name>. <date when="1990">1990</date>.
<title>“Las Cuestiones Al Libro Tercero De Anima de John de Tytyngsale.”</title>
<title type="journal">Archives d'Histoire Doctrinale
et Littéraire Du Moyen Âge</title> 57: 177–269.
</bibl>
</listBibl>
</sourceDesc>
The #A is the product of another editor. Say I would prefer to refer to it in the rdg elements with that ID, but I would like it represented in the apparatus as Aguinagalde. First I thought about using @n, but since that will very often be set (as in the case with the Balliol ms here), we cannot always prefer that over the id.
I thought about suggesting @rend as it indicates the rendition of the value. I know it is not exactly in line with the idea of rend, which is more similar to the @style in HTML. But still.
