Capabilities with no attributes or commands

See my response to this related post about Actuator and Sensor:

Capability "Actuator", whats it for? And Capability "Sensor"?

A motion sensor has the capability.sensor and capability.motionSensor. Capabilities is an area in desperate need of clean up and documentation.
