5.7 Traversal Attributes (

Traversal Attributes (label, from, and to)

The traversal attributes are label, from, and to. The label attribute Must, May, etc. be used on the resource- and locator-type elements. The from and to attributes Must, May, etc. be used on the arc-type element.

label, from, and to Values

The value of a label, from, or to attribute must be an NCName. If a value is supplied for a from or to attribute, it Must, May, etc. correspond to the same value for some label attribute on a locator- or resource-type element that appears as a direct child inside the same extended-type element as does the arc-type element.
