Modulelinking — 16 Linking, Segmentation, and Alignment
Attributes att.pointing (@type, @evaluate)
targetsspecifies the identifiers of the alternative elements or passages.
Status Required
Datatype 2–∞ occurrences of 

<rng:ref name="data.pointer"/>
data.pointer
separated by whitespace
Values Each value specified must be the same as that specified as value for an xml:id attribute for some other element in the current document.
modestates whether the alternations gathered in this collection are exclusive or inclusive.
Status Recommended
Legal values are:
excl
(exclusive) indicates that the alternation is exclusive, i.e. that at most one of the alternatives occurs.
incl
(inclusive) indicates that the alternation is not exclusive, i.e. that one or more of the alternatives occur.
weightsIf mode is excl, each weight states the probability that the corresponding alternative occurs. If mode is incl each weight states the probability that the corresponding alternative occurs given that at least one of the other alternatives occurs.
Status Optional
Datatype 2–∞ occurrences of 

<rng:ref name="data.probability"/>
data.probability
separated by whitespace
Values a whitespace-separated list of probability values in the range from 0 to 1.
Note
If mode is excl, the sum of weights must be 1. If mode is incl, the sum of weights must be in the range from 0 to the number of alternants.
