Upon further reading of the specification, I see the definitions I was
requesting are defined in the "5.5 Basic Data Structures" section.  
Might I suggest a hyperlink to this section,
http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P/#Data_Types, be added to the ref attribute
description

Thanks for your consideration,

The new text in the first paragraph of 3.3.7 is now: 
Each STATEMENT element that does not include a NON-IDENTIFIABLE element MUST 
contain at least one DATA-GROUP element that contains one or more DATA elements. 
DATA elements are used to describe the type of data that a site collects. A set 
of DATA Elements that every user-agent MUST be aware of is defined in 
<a href="#Data_Types">5.5 Basic Data Structures</a>
