Possibly.
But there's no reason to complicate the general idea in example-form: even if it's a tagged type you're going to want the capability-instance to be limited-private; the implementation of the "permissions" component being a Boolean-array or a vector of Capability'Class [most obviously having Capability be an abstract tagged null record] is mostly irrelevant for that demonstration. (And using a vector of tagged-type instead of the array would have bogged the example down with importing and instantiating the Vector container and setting up multiple non-abstract Capability-descendants, cluttering the point of the example.)
