Good point. Since the target of the PI is "any robot that cares",
the notation would need to point to something other than a
particular robot, probably the spec. That is a namspace-like
use of the notation.
In that case, should the spec require that processors check for
the correct notation before interpreting the PI?
I'm a bit wary of making things more complex. The robot world is
the natural home of the Desparate Perl Hacker, so I'd like the
spec to be understandable in 30 seconds or less.
