Comment:

 The current diff does not support a type-specific edit_cap.  Why not
 define the custom edit_cap as a new element of the
 '''$post_type_object->cap''' array instead?

 I'd also prefer '''$post_type_object->statuses''' rather than
 '''$status_object->post_type'''.

 A more debatable distinction would be type-specific values for the
 show_in_select_ui and display_label properties.  To me they do belong in
 the status object.  You could make them array properties keyed by post
 type.
