I think it's this http://www.musicxml.com/UserManuals/MusicXML/MusicXML.htm#CT-MusicXML-backup.htm Description The backup and forward elements are required to coordinate multiple voices in one part, including music on multiple staves. The backup type is generally used to move between voices and staves. Thus the backup element does not include voice or staff elements. Duration values should always be positive, and should not cross measure boundaries or mid-measure changes in the divisions value. although the description is typically vague and I'm not sure it corresponds much with what people do. The documentation seems to have changed a lot since I last saw it, it appears to be machine generated for the most part, making it look very comprehensive; unfortunately machines don't care whether it means anything.
