Public region seed capabilities currently deployed on Linden Lab's vaak grid are handling out a capability called "state/basic" that I haven't seen documented anywhere. An example of the LLSD is here: https://sim1.vaak.lindenlab.com:12043/cap/c6227189-7258-2ec7-f48e-89de064c5d6c

The format is obviously specific to the deployed Linden Lab codebase (including parameters such as skip_mono_scripts and rccs_quarantine_release_hysteresis) and possibly acts as a replacement for the RegionHandshake UDP message, but the importance of this capability is unclear. Can it be ignored by clients? Do regions have to serve up that capability to get the Snowglobe 1.3 viewer working? Do we need to define a more generic version of this capability?
