Strange wording about io_t->io_map method

I found something strange in oi_map description:

  ``If the invoker has read/write access to the I/O object''

In capability context, it is rather unseemly. Shouldn't the io_t
capability have subtypes like read-only, write-only or read/write?

The text would become:

  If the capability is a read/write capability, an opaque PATT
  capability is returned in patt. If the capability is a read-only
  capability, a weak PATT capability is returned.

Semantically,
Nowhere man
