No.

The best one could say is that the capsnego *callback* could be set
per-element. Each pad has its own properties etc., so doing capsnego *an
sich* per element is bizarre. Totally out of the question.

Now on to the callback. The fact that some/most (?) elements will use
the same callback for all pads doesn't mean *all* elements do this.
Also, since the pad is the first argument of the callback, it makes
sense that this is a pad thing, not a caps thing (it's a virtual
function).

So no, keep it this way please.
