[JRE]Assuming that the target changes as the request progresses
downstream, I meant the one that occurs first.

[JRE] I think I am getting there. So the target could be some sort of
call centre group, for example, and P-CPI could be the AoR of the
selected member of that group. Correct?
I am a little concerned about using the term "AoR" in the definition of
these AoRs. What about a request targeted at a GRUU? I would imagine the
Target and P-CPI would both contain the GRUU, which is not an AoR.
