Consider the example here: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/tabular-data.html#the-caption-element If someone does that in HTML, that paragraph is not the "label" or "name" of the table. And that is a bunch of text that should not just be spewed out in one breath to the user. And it should be navigable. What if an author does the equivalent, but using ARIA instead? --joanie
