I'm just wondering why titleabbrevs are not used in the list of figures/tables.
You could file a Request for Enhancement (RFE) at DocBook's SourceForge site. Speaking for myself, I wouldn't want to see this as the default behavior, but it could be an option.
Hmm, maybe I don't quite understand the meaning of title and titleabbrev here. Especially in figures with "scientific content", I often have a large explanation of what is depicted in the figure. In LaTeX, I do that with
\caption[short explanation]{very long explanation}
There, the list of figures only shows the [short explanation], because the {very long explanation} were just too long.
Maybe <title> and <titleabbrev> is not what I need? But what else then?
