Are PI targets arbitrary?

I'm starting to put some options into FOP that are triggered by processing
instructions. My initial thought was use 'fop' as the target.

But then it occurred to me: PI targets can be associated with a URI via a
NOTATION declaration. This is *a lot* like namespaces. Does that mean PI
targets should be arbitrary proxies?

Instead of looking for PIs with the target "fop" should I instead be looking
for PIs with the target which is a NOTATION declared with URI
http://www.jtauber.com/fop/
After all, some other application might use the target "fop" but only mine
would use the NOTATION with URI http://www.jtauber.com/fop/.

What do people think?

James
