How about a small description what sandboxing can bring to applications?

I'm browsing the documents at 
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/capsicum/documentation.html 
but it looks like it still mostly describes the generic framework rather 
than what you can do with it. From it, it looks like you can set limits 
on file handle operations (e.g. (lc_limitfd(STDOUT_FILENO, CAP_FSTAT | 
CAP_SEEK | CAP_WRITE)), but what else?
