journals are doing a different thing, viz., publishing on paper, where
they can be assured that you're going to see the whole image and the
caption at the same time. hence the different logic.

no. definitely not. html doesn't (intrinsically, at least) have a
concept of page, and latex is definitely designed with page models in
mind. as a result, some things *have* to differ (for example,
placement of footnotes, per-page numbering of footnotes): you just
cannot get away from that.
whether this should extend to moving captions is a difficult point,
but it's not one that can be dismissed that way.
note, of course, that *many* journals require that table captions
appear above the table.
