Processing instructions does not have to be tied to a specific output 
format. You can use some general PIs like <?toc?> <?lot figure?> <?lot 
procedure?> to mark places where ToC or LoT should appear.

I use PIs exactly for this purpose very successfully. I usually use 
customer name as a target for PI to prevent name clashes. So in your 
case, it can be perfectly reasonable to PIs like:

<?hpdoc toc?>
<?hpdoc lot="figure,procedure"?>

Just my 0.02 PIs ;-)
