Must it be that *some* component of the graph individually denote the value? Why is it so hard to say that an idiom, which identifies both literal and datatype, expresses a TDL pairing (which is not explicit in the graph) and the TDL pairing denotes the value. Simple, no? Or am I just missing the whole point of the MT...?
