According to the HAL spec, the 'camera' capability is for still-image
cameras.  Shouldn't it perhaps be that 'camera' is for any kind of
digital camera, and have the capabilities 'camera.image', 'camera.audio'
and 'camera.movie', or something of that nature?  Even many still-image
cameras these days also support movies.  'camera' doesn't just mean
still images, and it's likely apps will want to differentiate between
still image, video, and mixed-mode cameras.
