Description
**Suggestion**
Matrix allows servers to disallow profile changes for sets of users, but appservices are often controlled by the admin and should be permitted to make their own changes. A nice idea might be to insert a section into the appservice user regex that defines capability overrides.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Matrix rules for restricting profile changes and the appservice specification. Define how an appservice capability override would be represented in the user regex and which restrictions it affects. Done means the proposal has an unambiguous syntax, semantics, and updated specification text.
