(Table) Captions with Heading content results in a stripped table

[codebymikey]

In HTML5, captions may contain any flow content excluding descendent table elements- https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/tables.html#the-caption-element

Meaning:

<table>
  <caption><h3>Monthly savings</h3></caption>
  <tr>
    <th>Month</th>
    <th>Savings</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>January</td>
    <td>$100</td>
  </tr>
</table>

is perfectly valid HTML, but it results in the entire table being stripped out instead:

<h3>Monthly savings</h3>
  Month
    Savings
  January
    $100

When this is resolved, are there any plans to create a new release for the table support added as part of #70?

It's at least better than losing all your captioned tables.

Hi @codebymikey,
I plan to make a release (0.1.12) when the support for form input types (#59) is ready. Ideally I'd like to finish working on it by the end of the summer (around last week of September).

Is this timeline acceptable to you?

Yeah that's fine, a beta pre-release would be ideal, but if not I can just stick to dev for now until 0.1.12 is stable.
