This spec is intended to standardize what constitutes the acceptability of
electronic assemblies.  In this case it would control the acceptability of
the workmanship employed in bonding the component using the method and
materials specified by the Design Engineer.  This would normally be
specified on the work print or notes and not decided upon during
manufacturing.  This assumes that bonding is specified for the control of
weight, support, vibration, etc and is not applied as an assembly fixture or
convenience.  As far as your capacitor, my opinion is that bonding would not
be necessary for most end uses.
