<!ELEMENT caption - - (%text;)+>

The optional CAPTION element is used to provide a caption for the
table. Both start and end tags are required.
- ID, CLASS, LANG and DIR
-
See earlier description of common attributes.
- ALIGN
-
This may be used to control the placement of captions relative
to the table. When present, the ALIGN attribute should have one
of the values: TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT and RIGHT. It is recommended
that the caption is made to fit within the width or height of
the table as appropriate. The default position of the caption is
deliberately unspecified.
Note the ALIGN attribute is overused in HTML, but is retained
here for compatibility with currently deployed browsers.
