Period.
For the record, while rendition ladders were recommended in versions 1.0 to 2.1 of the "best practices" document, that recommendation was removed in version 3.0, published in 2011.
Partly, if I'm remembering correctly, as a result of the Council coming to the decision that they should be considered whitespace separated tokens and the order not be considered significant since we now had @rendition as a more formal means of expressing such things.
The Council discussion was in 2012, after the "best practices" were last revised: http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Council/Meetings/tcm52.xml#body.1_div.3_div.... --Kevin
