An encapsulation of capability construction.

Each capability (currently) corresponds to a renderer.

You will want to override (some of) the class variables at the top, plus the _makeCapability method (that you'll probably still want to upcall for the basic functionality).

In particular, you will typically want to override capabilityClass with a stanxml element spitting out the right standardIds.

Additionally, if the capability should also appear in data collections served by a service with the capability, also define auxiliaryId (that's an IVOID like ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP#aux). These are used in getCapabilityElement.

CapabilityMakers are used by calling them.
