I think it all boils down to: which text you're trying to encode? If the
image Paul linked originally, then there's nothing unclear about it in the
sense of <unclear> tag. What is there is some form of editorial markup,
which can be with reasonable certainty interpreted as variant readings of
yet another source. Hence my proposal of using app/rdg for that.

If, alas, the aim of the TEI encoding is to capture that ur-source then,
yes, <unclear> might have a place there. Such a reconstruction feels odd
though and in my opinion calls for some careful policy and documentation at
least.
