IIRC, Michael Brauer said you could wrap the paragraphs in a 
text:section element as well. Am not sure which is better, but in any

We actually approved the attribute on Monday, although there was

add a "caption-id" attribute per the original proposal.

I guess this is unofficial until the minutes are posted and approved?
