    Hi Norm,
    
    Now that I think about it, I wonder if putting caption on mediaobject is the
    right thing.  A mediaobject is a container for multiple _media_ objects, and
    a caption is a separate element from those objects.  I don't think it should
    be in the mediaobject container.  An alternative is to also allow caption on
    informalfigure, informaltable, and informalexample, but not mediaobject.  I
    have certainly seen a style where pictures have explanatory captions but no
    title or number.  Then if someone wanted to add a caption but didn't want a
    title, they could wrap the mediaobject and caption in an informalfigure or
    informalexample.
