If the question is whether *object* capabilities would help the
project, I can't answer it till I understand more how *objects* fit
into their vision. Their PPTs, focus on "data" (their "PRPL" protocol
being central). It's not clear to me that this would really work for
large-scale composition of nontrivial semantics: e.g., a service has
to repackage itself as a "data source" in order to be recursively
embedded in this system.
