Norm, I'm so puzzled by your response I hardly know what to say. Passing an 
object reference is exactly passing a capability. In KeyKOS, you don't pass a 
separate cap for each order-code (message-selector) that might be requested of 
a domain. Rather, you group those order-codes that "go together" as requests 
that can be made of a single passable capability. If "Passing object 
references is bad", then passing caps in KeyKOS is just as bad. On the 
contrary, I think both are not only good, they are the basis for the best 
software engineering we know how to do.
