Actually, the OBJECT element appears to have all the properties required
here. In the current Cougar DTD,[1] OBJECT is allowed inside a P, and
by my reading of that and the WD-object draft,[2] the following will be
legal under Cougar:
<P>
... This can be seen more clearly in Table 2:
<OBJECT ALIGN=CENTER>
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>Table 2: Comparison of frobnitz data</CAPTION>
[...]
</TABLE>
</OBJECT>
As we see, the frobnitz levels for the first test case...
and will do more or less what you appear to want. This may well be a
minor subversion of the intended use of OBJECT, though.
