/**
 * Bundle Capability and Requirement Namespace.
 * 
 * 
 * This class defines the names for the attributes and directives for this
 * namespace. All unspecified capability attributes are of type {@code String}
 * and are used as arbitrary matching attributes for the capability. The values
 * associated with the specified directive and attribute keys are of type
 * {@code String}, unless otherwise indicated.
 * 
 * 

 * Unless otherwise noted, all directives specified on the
 * {@code Bundle-SymbolicName} header are visible in the capability and all
 * directives specified on the {@code Require-Bundle} header are visible in the
 * requirement.
 * 
 * 

 * The {@link Namespace#CAPABILITY_USES_DIRECTIVE uses} directive must be
 * ignored. A {@code uses} directive specified on the
 * {@code Bundle-SymbolicName} header must be ignored. A {@code uses} directive
 * must not be present in the capability.
 * The {@link Namespace#CAPABILITY_EFFECTIVE_DIRECTIVE effective}
 * {@link Namespace#REQUIREMENT_EFFECTIVE_DIRECTIVE directives} must be ignored.
 * This namespace is only effective at {@link Namespace#EFFECTIVE_RESOLVE
 * resolve} time. An {@code effective} directive specified on the
 * {@code Bundle-SymbolicName} or {@code Require-Bundle} headers must be
 * ignored. An {@code effective} directive must not be present in a capability
 * or requirement.
 * The {@link Namespace#REQUIREMENT_CARDINALITY_DIRECTIVE cardinality}
 * directive must be ignored. A {@code cardinality} directive specified on the
 * {@code Require-Bundle} header must be ignored. A {@code cardinality}
 * directive must not be present in a requirement.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * A non-fragment resource with the {@link IdentityNamespace#TYPE_BUNDLE
 * osgi.bundle} type {@link IdentityNamespace#CAPABILITY_TYPE_ATTRIBUTE
 * identity} provides exactly one^† bundle capability (that is,
 * the bundle can be required by another bundle). A fragment resource with the
 * {@link IdentityNamespace#TYPE_FRAGMENT osgi.fragment} type
 * {@link IdentityNamespace#CAPABILITY_TYPE_ATTRIBUTE identity} must not declare
 * a bundle capability. A resource requires zero or more bundle requirements
 * (that is, required bundles).
 * 

 * † A resource with no symbolic name must not provide a bundle
 * capability.
