This sounds like a good plan to me, at least. Dzung, Ingmar, Ilkka,
would one of you mind having a stab at re-formulating the Capture API
into what Arun describes as Level 1 above?
This would mean scraping 1.1, 3.1, 3.4 to 3.14, and massaging the
remaining into a coherent set.

(moving the removed sections into a temporary level 2 spec would be
fine, but we can always get them back from CVS, so I wouldn't
necessarily worry about that now)
