Datatype

<rng:ref name="data.enumerated"/>
data.enumerated
Values The type should indicate the intended function of the pointer, or the rhetorical relationship between its source and target.
evaluate specifies the intended meaning when the target of a pointer is itself a pointer.
Status Optional
Legal values are:
all
if the element pointed to is itself a pointer, then the target of that pointer will be taken, and so on, until an element is found which is not a pointer.
one
if the element pointed to is itself a pointer, then its target (whether a pointer or not) is taken as the target of this pointer.
none
no further evaluation of targets is carried out beyond that needed to find the element specified in the pointer's target.
Note
If no value is given, the application program is responsible for deciding (possibly on the basis of user input) how far to trace a chain of pointers.
