 that is set by someone with a specific (filterable) capability (read-only
 for everyone else, maybe?) or would it be enabled through a hook, or some
 other way I haven't thought of?

 I think the most elegant way to do it would be to just give it to users
 who current have `edit_posts` by default, along the lines of the sub-cap
 concept (see the `customize` cap), thereby making it possible to
 programmatically remove the cap rather than add it.
