    Hi,
    You could do two things:

    1. Remove the para wrapper in the caption. A caption doesn't require a
    para to contain its text, and the para uses the normal.para.spacing
    attribute-set that adds extra space.

    2. Customize the template that handles caption, from fo/graphics.xsl:

    <xsl:template match="caption">
    <fo:block>
    <xsl:if test="@align = 'right' or @align = 'left' or @align='center'">
    <xsl:attribute name="text-align"><xsl:value-of
    select="@align"/></xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </fo:block>
    </xsl:template>

    You can add spacing properties to the fo:block element. There really ought
    to be a caption.properties attribute-set, if you care to file a feature
    request on the DocBook SourceForge site. 8^)

    Thanks! Removing the <para> wrapper helped a lot.
