Title:
  capabilities filter uses ':' as a delimiter, which is unsupported by
  REST XML

Status in Cinder:
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  In  cinder.capabilities_filter, we uses a ":" as a delimiter.  It
  would causes a problem when attempting to convert the capability in an
  extra-spec to a REST  XML object.

  When we create one volume-type with extra_specs via REST or list all
  of volume-type as below:

  POST /types
  request body :{"volume_type": {"extra_specs": {"vendor_name": "Open Source", "capabilities:volume_backend_name":"iSCSI"}, "name": "volume-type-001"}}

  it will throw the following error:

  ValueError: Invalid tag name u'capabilities:volume_backend_name'

  The root cause is: etree.Element can not parse "xx:xx" strings, such
  as "capabilities:volume_backend_name".

  From capabilities_filter.py, if we change the filter ":" to ".", as
  follow:

  scope = key.split(':') --> scope = key.split('.'), we can avoid  this
  issue, also not impact the filter.
