Bug 7056
Reporter: James Graham
Description: "It seems reasonable to allow tables and figures to
have multiple paragraphs or lists in their captions. Therefore we
should not be over restrictive and should allow flow content in table
and figure captioning elements."

"I note that one side effect of this change is that <details> can now
appear in <caption>. This provides a mechanism for adding multiple
levels of captioning information that, as far as I can tell, is
equivalent _on a technical level_ to the <summary> element proposal
advocated as an improvement [1] on the HTML 4 table summary
mechanisms.
