  Hmm, both suggestions seem to be designed to explain what "capacity" means rather than replacing it with something that doesn't need explanation at all. I don't really see the point of  keeping the word "Capacity" visible when we can replace it with something that doesn't need additional explanation.
  
  Also, I don't think QML stuff do "What's This?" text, and even if it could I wouldn't want to use it because the "What's This?" feature is poorly-discoverable and not a substitute for clarity in the user-visible strings.
