Re: [docbook] Captions in union table model

IMO it is required because DocBook distinguishes between formal object 
(with title) and informal objects (without title).  The table element is 
used to represent formal tables and hence requires a title.  The 
equivalent in the HTML content model is caption.

If you have a table without a title, you have to use the informaltable 
element which supports the HTML content model too (but without caption).

<!ENTITY % informal.tbl.table.mdl
	"(textobject*,
           (graphic+|mediaobject+|tgroup+))
          | ((col*|colgroup*), thead?, tfoot?, (tbody+|tr+))">

Bye
