    | In DocBook, a "table" (as opposed to an "informaltable") is formal

    Precisely. Allowing "table" to appear without any kind of title would
    make processing tables much more complicated. If you want a table
    without a caption, use informaltable.
    
    |>Also, should we allow the same attribute values?
    
    Yes, and we do.
    
    | As far as I can tell, the only attribute we don't allow on caption

    No, that was just an oversight. Sigh, I guess we have to add it.
