In this case, the term "capability" MUST be defined up front. The word
"capability" seems to carry a much broader meaning than password...

It has a standard definition we can reference.  From
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2828.txt

   $ capability
      (I) A token, usually an unforgeable data value (sometimes called a
      "ticket") that gives the bearer or holder the right to access a
      system resource. Possession of the token is accepted by a system
      as proof that the holder has been authorized to access the
      resource named or indicated by the token. (See: access control
      list, credential, digital certificate.)

      (C) This concept can be implemented as a digital certificate.
      (See: attribute certificate.)
