As a user, I wouldn't want Opera to include image captions when

no more of a header than a table caption is.
You have a point. Obviously in an outline a figure isn't the same as
aside content. So maybe we could add a <figure> element which would work
the same as <aside> but with a specific purpose of illustrating what is
said. That way outliners could make a separate list of figures using the
figure headers. And, as I suggested for <aside> previouly, you could
make each header which is not part of the main content a <h> element
which will be ignored by legacy user-agents.
Actually, I tend to treat images and tables the same. Tables have
<caption>s, and a user agent can make a list of tables for navigation. Why
can't an image have a caption? I think images and tables are quite similar.
And I don't think that "heading" is the appropriate semantic entity for
marking up captions. Rather than making them headers and at the same time
taking measures so that they don't interfere with UA's outlining
facilities, I'd rather say that headings should be left entirely for
document outline, and captions are marked up explicitly as captions.
I'm replying to the mailing list, assuming that you have replied off-list
by accident. There was nothing really private in your message, and I think
the discussion hasn't went off-topic.
