My only quibble is the use of the term "capability". That's a term with a
more complex meaning than is intended by the use in DALI-1.1 and maybe now
is a good time to think this through a little more.

The prior use documented directly in DALI is that this conveys the
"standardID" and that term is used in various xml schema as well as
Datalink service descriptors to convey the same thing. I don't know of any
use case, but a capability generically also has other attributes (type,
version) that we may want to convey via this vocabulary at some point.

I realise this initial vocabulary is just pulling the terms out of the
existing DALI text. Is this the appropriate time to fix this?
