How many people does a three-car DLR hold, and how does that compare
with a six-car C stock? How does the speed compare? I'm wondering
about whether the "light" railway designation still means anything.

Closely spaced stations and lots of rapid acceleration and
deceleration are light rail-esque features in my mind.

As well as tight curves and steep inclines.

I suppose what I'm really asking is whether the heavy rail standard still
has any virtues.
