Hi again.

I'm wondering if we plan to limit the new caption role to tables, or if
it can/will be a more generic role which, for instance, could be used as
the ARIA equivalent to the HTML figcaption element?

In addition, at least in the case of HTML, there is an associated
positional requirement, namely that the caption (if present) should be
the first child element of the table. Should we also have that requirement?

Thanks!
