 This is one proposed way that OCAP could work.
 
+ * Works from person to person, not instance to instance.
+ * Produces negligible additional network traffic
+ * Works in the same way between people on different instances or the same instance
+ * People can alter what their followers can do on an individual basis
+ * Leverages the existing follow request mechanism
+
 Default capabilities are initially set up when a follow request is made. The Accept activity sent back from a follow request can be received by any instance. A capabilities accept activity is attached to the follow accept.
