Ideas follow:
* Ego, egoCaps.
* Delve, delveCaps.
* touchCaps.
* CXP (Capabilities Exchange Protocol).
* openCaps.
* DCX (Declarative Capabilities Exchange).
* MetaAssert.
* CapLink.

(Why *Caps? Capabilities. Why declarative or assertive? You declare what
your capabilities are.)

Those are just a few thoughts.
