Please send us the URL you're referring to; that should get clarified!

Both JDK 1.1 and JDK 1.2 accept both X.509v1 and X.509v3 certificates,
though the information provided by v3 extensions is not exposed
through any API before JDK 1.2 release. I don't recall that any
recognized a literal "capabilities" X509 extension though. (Was
that what you meant?)
