CALS always had a parameter entity hook for titles: <!ENTITY % titles 'title?'> <!ENTITY % tbl.table-titles.mdl "%titles;,"> <!ENTITY % tbl.table-main.mdl "(tgroup+|graphic+)"> <!ENTITY % tbl.table.mdl "%tbl.table-titles.mdl; %tbl.table-main.mdl;"> <!ELEMENT table %ho; (%tbl.table.mdl;)> So I think our "redefinition" of that parameter entity to include info, title, alt, and indexterms is within reason. Inside a table, CALS has a parameter entity initially defined to be tgroup|graphic. We've changed that to tgroup|mediaobject which seems entirely reasonable. I think the addition of "caption" at the end is a bug. It's in the 4.x content model for HTML tables and I think I copied into 5.0 by accident. (Note that in 4.5, you cannot have a caption after a tgroup).
