The traverse element is used within the following other elements:
proto traversal
The chain of links is not constrained to contain only one-to-one links. There may be many-to-one links,
that is, traverse elements in multiple containers may point to the same destination. For this reason
traversal chains may not be reversible, unless specifically designed to be so.
When any traversal is not specified, it defaults to geographical order, where the forward direction is
defined as left-to-right top-to-bottom. This definition of forward direction is used regardless of the
language component of the locale.
The delegate property
Reserved for future use.
