Yeah, probably so.

So, list (with normal added) would be:

<xs:enumeration value="bold"/>
<xs:enumeration value="illuminated"/>
<xs:enumeration value="italic"/>
<xs:enumeration value="line-through"/> (added)
<xs:enumeration value="normal"/> (added)
<xs:enumeration value="overline"/> (added)
<xs:enumeration value="small-caps"/> (conformed to CSS)
<xs:enumeration value="underline"/>

With a note in the User's Manual that "normal" is only meaningful when 
used as the type value for a <hi> element inside another <hi> element.

Note that we are presuming clear text, i.e., not your 
"obscured-by-coffee-stain." I started to suggest yet another value for 
that but then we are not talking about the text per se, but about our 
ability to read it. If we add, "unclear," no principled reason to not 
add gap, certainty, etc. Probably need to note and save all of that for 
mss. encoding.

Getting close to presentation but I think it adds something that people 
working with texts will need before we reach mss. encoding mechanisms.

Hope you are having a great day!
