I think I see now.

Section 3.4 talks about the "target process". Does this mean the 
process executing an open wait on the target endpoint?

The documentation at makeAppNotifier suggests I can create multiple 
AppNotifier capabilities for the same endpoint with different 
authorized notices. The set of authorized notices must be stored in 
the capability.
