I think you provided an explanation on a previous code review cycle, but
I forget the details now...what's the benefit to using a blob for caps
rather than having these be individual properties?  Individual
properties seems more natural to me, but I think you had a justification
for blobbing them together; that reasoning would be good to include in
the commit message.
