Ah, excellent. I was sure there would be something, and I wasn't
disappointed ;-)

Speaking of CtCap, do you happen to know what Nokia's involvement was in
the definition of that part of the spec? Or speaking more generally,
what was the desired usage of CtCap?

I've just been in another discussion around that, where the Synthesis
use of CtCap to determine unsupported properties was questioned.

One interpretation of CtCap is "limitations for some properties". In
that interpretation, unlisted properties might still be supported.

The other interpretation is that CtCap has to be complete and accurate,
and thus anything not covered by it (value too long, unknown property)
is not stored by the device. This is the interpretation used by
Synthesis. FWIW, it sounds more plausible to me.

But is there anything in the standard which supports one or the other
interpretation? Or perhaps it was part of meeting minutes?
