           Summary: The distinction between Capabilities and

Capabilities vs. MutableCapabilities is a local-end distinction that could vary
between different languages (e.g. if there were Haskell bindings, there would
not be a MutableCapabilities, as mutability is not a supported concept in that
language).

For this spec, I think we should just make it clear what exactly is meant by
the capabilities object that are transferred by the wire protocol, e.g. how
required and desired are used, and that capabilities returned by newSession
describe the actual, unchangeable capabilities of that session.
