Caption duplication in CALS tables

Hello,

When I try to insert a caption in a CALS table, the html
output  
contains its caption twice. For instance, the following
valid docbook  
document produces a table with the caption in the title as
well as in  
its "normal" place.

Is there a way to suppress the caption occurrence in the
title?

I am using docbook 5, with Saxon 8B.

Thank you

Fabrizio Gotti

                 </tbody>

             <caption>
                 <simpara>This is a caption, it should
appear only  
once.</simpara>
             </caption>
        </table>
     </chapter>
</book>

produces an html table like this:
Table 1.1. Sample CALS Table (long title)

This is a caption, it should appear only once.

[empty line]

This is a caption, it should appear only once.

this is a styling artifact of a bug in the new schema that
was turned
into a feature

in the links you will find a workaround, i think

The stylesheets had not caught up with the most recent
changes in the 
DocBook 5 schema.  Only recently was caption permitted in a
CALS table. 
This is the fix that I just added to the XSL source:

<xsl:template match="table"
mode="title.markup">
  <xsl:param name="allow-anchors"
select="0"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates
select="(title|caption)[1]"
mode="title.markup">
    <xsl:with-param name="allow-anchors"
select="$allow-anchors"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

You can add it to your customization layer, or wait for a
new snapshot 
release.
