Hi Norm,
Now that I think about it, I wonder if putting caption on mediaobject is the
right thing. A mediaobject is a container for multiple _media_ objects, and
a caption is a separate element from those objects. I don't think it should
be in the mediaobject container. An alternative is to also allow caption on
informalfigure, informaltable, and informalexample, but not mediaobject. I
have certainly seen a style where pictures have explanatory captions but no
title or number. Then if someone wanted to add a caption but didn't want a
title, they could wrap the mediaobject and caption in an informalfigure or
informalexample.

Subject: [docbook-tc] DocBook NG is "up-to-date"
I spent some time with DocBook NG this morning. I believe that I've
implemented all of the changes that we discussed and checked them into
CVS:
* Support annotations as per the 20 Apr 2005 DocBook TC meeting
* Allow alt in more places
* Make separate patterns for attributes and enumerations
* Allow floatstyle on table and informaltable
* Allow caption in mediaobject, figure, example, and table
* Method attribute values in lowercase; action is an xsd:anyURI on HTML
forms
* Fix action attribute; add enctype and accept attributes; support
fieldset
in HTML forms
* Allow common attributes on HTML table elements; allow orient,
pgwide, tabstyle, and floatstyle on HTML table element
* Allow title to be optional on equation
I'll probably release DocBook NG: The "Lillet" Release over the weekend.
