	The "caption" attribute of HTML Tables is "deprecated" 
(phased out, obsolete).

		http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.2

	The "caption" attribute is NOT designed for images, nor is it 
a stable cross-browser tag attribute. Various non-standard browsers 
(i.e. MS Internet Explorer!) will render the attribute differently.

	... so many (HTML) problems, so little (customer) interest in 
fixing them.   ;-)
