     In the page 19 of the l4re-source document there is a

description about caps as following:

capabilities (default is an empty table). If the table does not contain a capability with the name ’rom’, the ’rom’ capability from Ned’s initial caps is inserted into the table.

    How can i understand "If the table does not contain a

It just means that ned always gives a 'rom' service to each app, either one explicitly set or, if that hasn't been done, the default one which happens to be the same 'rom' service used by ned itself. So in most cases you can omit specifying a 'rom' service as there will be the default one automatically.
