The named render sets are defined in (portal-core.war)/WEB-INF/layouts/portal-renderSet.xml 

The named strategies are defined in 
(portal-core.war)/WEB-INF/layouts/portal-strategies.xml 

I put the war in brackets since you could add your own implementations into any of the WARs you deploy to the portal, as long as they are in the same location (WEB-INF/themes) with the same name , and conform to the DTDs defined (see /core/resources/dtd/portal_renderSet_2_0.dtd and portal_strategies_2_0.dtd)

Note that those render sets are still experimental. We're still trying to get more feedback from web developers about the right level of separation between the render set and the css in the theme. If we can get to a 'standard' set of tags and selectors produced by the render set, we could have 'standardised' themes (think Firefox skins and the likes) ; in other words: if we have a well known set of selectors and tags, and themes that comply with those, we could have exchangable themes.
