Bug Description

Unfortunately, the width of a caption in a table is not properly calculated in some older versions of WebKit (including the one the latest Safari is based on.) The new CAPTION in data tables should be replaced with a second row in the THEAD tag.

At some point the caption SHOULD be used, but we will have to wait until Safari uses a version of WebKit that has this fixed, and the non-working Safari versions degrade back enough to not be cared about and supported anymore.

    Replacing the caption tag in data tables.

    Using a new row in the thead instead now. This is
    due to a WebKit bug where the caption element's
    size cannot be correctly calculated on tables with
    borders.

    Fixes Bug #965603
