I'm a bit confused, because this proposal was about drawing pages only, not
about tables, wasn't it? I don't mind that we're talking about a title for
tables since my post from yesterday wants "unique name separated from
user-visible title" for tables too, but I'm just surprised :)

This confuses me too. table:table cannot be a direct child of draw:frame, can it? (or is this new in odf-1.2?)
Or do you mean with a draw:text-box as intermediary? But then you could have
other text before and after the table and then a title+description for the table still makes sense...
