Re: Questions about the new "caption" role for tables

"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" 

It is my understanding  that the positional requirement is due to parsing implementation constraints only. A suggested constraint to have is that each role=table or role=group (in the case of figcaption) only have one child with a role=caption.
