The thing is that "capability" in the Linux kernel (POSIX capabilities?) does not mean the same thing as "capability" in the general computer science/OS research.

So yes, real capabilities would do what you're talking about and I think there may be SELinux modules which implement this sort of thing but it is not yet standard.
