Thanks for the heads-up. I have just made the corresponding changes in 
Gecko (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1202993), so as 
of Firefox 43 we will support this interpretation of caption-side values.

As we had already added the logical keywords as part of our vertical 
writing-mode support implementation, this means that we'll have a short 
period (Firefox 41 and 42) where those are supported, but I can't 
imagine this will matter much.
