For those who might be wondering, this is in reference to the hacker group who recently hacked Gawker.
It's great to see object-capability security being discussed on here! Mark Miller, Ben Laurie, and Mark Lentczner are working on how to apply this 1980s research in a web context at https://sites.google.com/site/belayresearchproject/ under the name "Belay". They're still in early stages...
Doesn't SELinux use an object-capability model?
No. The term is defined at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-capability_model which says '(Note, however, that some uses of the term "capability" are not consistent with the model, such as POSIX "capabilities".)'
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~KeyKOS/ is perhaps also of interest, then.
