Bringing this issue to the list. The issue was raised by Miek: https://github.com/rfc-format/draft-iab-xml2rfc-v3-bis/issues/31 This issue starts out by stating one problem, namely that <table> has no provisions for having a caption. The discussion subsequently sorts this out, pointing to the use of the <name> element for a table in order to provide the caption. In order to make this clearer, Section 2.54 probably should mention the usage of <name> to provide a caption, and section 2.32 should include 'table' in the initial list of places it can be used (not only texttable). Section 1.3.3, bullet 7 could also mention the use of <name> to provide a caption. The discussion subsequently mentions the discrepancy between table and figure permitting <name>, while <artwork> doesn't. To clarify this, it might be good to point out in Section 2.5. <artwork> that there is no separate numbering space for artwork; in order to caption and number a piece of artwork it has to be wrapped in a <figure> so that it can get a Figure number. Finally the discussion moves on to the alignment of table captions. There are 2 issues here: - one schema issue, which is whether to permit left/center/right alignment of tables. It is permitted for artwork, and was permitted for texttable, but it not permitted for <table>. - The alignment of the table caption. This is not covered in the specification, but xml2rfc 2.10.2 centers the caption, while the table (lacking any alignment specification) is left-aligned. For narrow tables, this mis-alignment of caption and table does not look good. The next release of xml2rfc will center the caption under the table, before placing the combined table and caption. To sum up: I think there are some improvements that could be made to the document text, to clarify the use of <name> to provide <table> captions. There is one unresolved schema issue (align keyword for <table>) and one layout issue which will be fixed in the next xml2rfc release. Best regards, Henrik
