In general, some capabilities typically given by the constructor need

to understand why you think that disclosure should not be the default)

I don't see why there has to be always a capability that is provided
by the constructor. It breaks flexibility (and possibly
virtualization). The TCB capabilities can be provided by the requestor
if there is no capability that the constructor is supposed to protect.

How does virtualization require any capabilities to be unreadable?


Thanks
