The diagram I did was with dot & graphviz, which are
nice for automatic layout.  

It seems to me that I'd like to specify, or extract
from code, specific relationships like who can create
what objects, who gets passed references (sealed or
unsealed), and then I'd like to be able to query for
things like, show me all the Capability classes that
can be reached from this particular class, directly or
indirectly.  

The way we're modeling it, we have certain classes
that are actually important capabilities that we care
about and need to get right, and then there are other
Java objects which we don't care about, and can be
ignored for the purposes of analysis.
