Ah yes, I guess because the individual permissions granted
to applications running under Polaris can't themselves
be communicated as parameters?  Sorry about that confusion.
POLA but not capability?

Oops.  You've got that right!

I don't recall any female 'voices' on cap-talk.  Have I just
missed them?  That seems sad to me.  Perhaps we need some
recruiting in other circles?  There were a few women at
the Usenix Security conference, but very few.  Of course
we tried to get anybody we met interested in POLA and
capabilities.
