I also think 'capacidade' still the best translation for capabilities
anyway. I will keep using it on my documentation.

BTW your site uses the capabilities as keys analogy to explain caps,

I had based on 'What is a Capability, anyway?' essay write by shap but I
didn't read the 'Capability Myths Demolished' fully yet. Right now I don't
have any idea why keys aren't a good analogy to capabilities. I will read
the paper to know more about this.
Thanks for your comments, I will correct those things and hope to count on
you for future reviews of the documentation.
