If so, then what about - ahem - @summary? ;-)
And also, if you would like to support the workaround to use generated
content like Charles supported, then you need to look at what happens
if you add a border to that table. E.g. try this:
table:before { content: attr(summary);position:absolute;left:300px }
table {border:1px solid}
And also what happens when there already is a real <caption> in the
table. Both those issues interferes with this - effectively - generated
"summary caption".
PS: If you fix these issues, then you are also preparing the ground for
second caption ... So perhaps you should not do it ... ;-)
PPS: These things are buggy in Opera as well.
