Cortex series scheme NEON has rename SIMD register?

Note: This was originally posted on 18th April 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

NEON contains 16 SIMD user visible registers q0~q15, while does it have more architecturally visible register? Just like general 32 bit register engaged.
Anybody know which document or spec demonstrate related topic?
Thanks to any interesting discussion!

NEON on Cortex-A5, A7, A8, and A9 has no register renaming.

NEON on Cortex-A15 has register renaming and can be executed out of order (http://www.arm.com/files/pdf/at-exploring_the_design_of_the_cortex-a15.pdf). I can't find any references as to how large the result queue or rename tables are.
