Probably cache mode :) But then it is sort of a state, when it can  
change dynamically.  Putting dynamic information in the
MBean name is a PITA (we have seen that with the MDB - https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-1568 
  ) if this prevents the unique
identification of this entry (over time).
I was thinking, that the (local) could change as a result of an api  
call to (global) - in this case I think it would be better to put
(local) and (global) in an Mbean attribute.

Also on the CacheManager this cache is identified as   
'myCustomCache(created)' while in the MBean names it is  
'myCustomCache(local)',
which is IMO not consistent.

It will be definitively a plus if configuration would be available via  
JMX as this allows to display this in Jopr and also allow to
change it from there.
