That was the only way we could easily replicate Netscape's wacky algorithm for inserting "loose" content prior to inserting the table. Chris, does this <caption> actually appear in the DOM in IE? What happens if the table already has a <caption>? It might just be that putting the content into a <caption> is preferable to hoisting it out of the table altogether, if that gives better compat with what IE does. It doesn't sound like it would be much more difficult to implement than the current "hoist the content out of the table" algorithm. -Boris
