No there is no simple list. CUrrently the only way I know of would be to look 
into every renderrule of every renderer to see what currently is rendered by 
this rendering machine.

To make all renderers act the same way I think we need a central 
MapFeatures.xml FIle which has a machinereadable structure and is the father 
of all individual rendering-schemes. So I think this would be an important 
step to do. Define a central MapFeatures.XML
