[Opensim-dev] Capabilities

[Melanie]

Hi,

Caps as such are a a generic concept, they are not a Lindenism,
IMHO. Linden didn't invent them and I believe that the CAPS
mechanism as such should remain in the normal namespace.

Also, modules already use CAPS, if CAPS were in the client stack,
they would be much harder to access,, since the client stack is
somewhat isolated from modules.

I believe that it should be possible to re-route caps to other
destinations, ROBUST or external servers, but not by moving all
handlers into the Servers namespace, that is not what it was meant
for. That would bloat and pollute it. This warrants more discussion.

In it's present form I can't endorse that proposal.
