Other than enuff salt assuring that the water is a good electrolyte, why must 
the 
solution for a saltwater cap be saturated?

While my last chemistry course was in 1963, if I remember correctly, the 
reason for the recommendation of a saturated solution is that it has the 
maximum conduction = minimum effective resistance, ergo lowest internal 
voltage drop.
