Adrian made the suggestion some time ago of using the fo:declarations

It’s not as fine-grained as a PI (no
means to say “from now on, do this”), but I share Jeremias’ feeling
about PIs.
From my experience, a mechanism saying “from now on, do this” is
likely to confuse a non-trivial amount of users.
I think there should be the following hierarchy (which is already
complex enough)
- config file
- overridden by command line arguments
- overridden on a per document basis by extension elements in the
fo:declarations section
- overridden on a per element basis by extension attributes on the
element
- overridden by specific "force" command line arguments ("force
all warnings/problems to be fatal" may be the only one of this kind)
