[Opensim-dev] Capabilities

[Diva Canto]

Actually, there's one piece of new design/development that needs to be 
done carefully. When capability services are served from servers other 
than the simulator, we need a mechanism for the simulators to create the 
paths dynamically in those servers and then revocate those paths. This 
needs to be done securely. Thoughts welcome.
