Hi David,

IMO it is required because DocBook distinguishes between formal object
(with title) and informal objects (without title). The table element is
used to represent formal tables and hence requires a title. The
equivalent in the HTML content model is caption.
If you have a table without a title, you have to use the informaltable
element which supports the HTML content model too (but without caption).
<!ENTITY % informal.tbl.table.mdl
"(textobject*,
(graphic+|mediaobject+|tgroup+))
| ((col*|colgroup*), thead?, tfoot?, (tbody+|tr+))">
