I don't know (myself) why it must start with "Workshop on..." (e.g. vs. ending
in "Workshop"), but I'll accept your statement and from the above express
my preference for:

"Workshop on Capability-Based Protection"

though I also like "Workshop on Capability and Object Systems"
pretty well as it seems to more explicitly include the language work.

Perhaps if people aren't too tired of this subject to express an
opinion, how about choices from the above or/vs.

"Capabilities Workshop"?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Hank!  Good suggestions.  I've added
the above to the page:

http://www.webstart.com/projects/cap-conf/cap-conf-name.txt

if anybody wants to look at all the names suggested so far.

My preference among them as noted above is:

"Workshop on Capability-Based Protection"

It includes the "C" word, focuses on a positive
(protection) that seems to include both robustness
and security, and begins with "Workshop on..." as
Hank suggests.

Any other thoughts?  Going once ...
