There are 32 possible capabilites, so you'll quickly exceed the width of terminals just listing capabilities, in this format. You could try and decide on shortened names to < 5 characters each, but it isn't going to be so readable, nor very short for lots of caps
w, r, x are not really that readable either. It is just short, familiar and memorable. once we get short notations with a option to list what it means in full, we can adopt to that.
You only have 3 letters to remember the name of and you encounter them on a daily basis, so its easily rememberable. Give every capability even a 5 letter long code and few will ever be able to remember what they mean.
