If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: <caption> has abnormal legacy parsing behavior when it occurs in a table cell that's too risky to change. Since it's assumed that you can use just about anything you can use as a child of <body> as a child of <td>, it doesn't make sense to expand the applicability of <caption> from its current purpose. 53399 2 mike 2011-08-04 05:13:29 +0000 mass-move component to LC1
