That's true, though there's <param/>, but currently <caption/> is only valid
inside <table/>, thus it should^Wmight be possible to allow it directly
inside <object/>. <h/> in contrast isn't applicable here, because it really
could be alternate content.
Nevertheless, I'd be happy with a caption *attribute*, too, but think it
breaks the concept shown in <section><h/></section> and
<table><caption/><table>. Plus, title almost is just that, but there's no
way to use it with CSS's display:caption or caption-side.
