yes. this means that you are saying something about the certainty of the 
*name* of whatever it is that #a123 resolves to (you probably should 
have a @degree on the element too)

note that you could also supply a pattern, e.g.

<certainty target="#a123" pattern= "/*" locus="name"/>

(modulo my shaky syntax) means you are talking about the certainty of 
the names used for the immediate children of whatever #a123 resolves to.
