Oh, well, I never said I didn't want to include the caption text.

I would actually prefer to do it that way, because as has been put forth, it
is a lot clearly and would transfer to printed meduim.

My problem is, the "publication" that I'm putting together is actually based
on dozens of XML files (it could be hundreds by summer) that go through a
number of automated steps to produce a set of end products -- the same
documents as HTML, PDF and MS-Help (possibly even RTF & plain TXT as well).

The current build chain, does not allow for a Caption text to be provided
under images under all situations.  Given enough time and effort, I believe
I can customize the build chain to include captions in all instances -- but
at this time, I'd rather get the document published then spend an addtional
X hours tweaking XSLT sheets and then figuring out a way of keeping those
XSLT sheets synced with new versions that a 3rd party will be putting out.

But I *can* at this time, interject ALT text and Comment tags into the
underlying HTML/PDF/MS-Help versions.  RTF and Plain Text versions would
just omit the images, or provide them seperately.
