[Framers] Table Title gets dropped on save as xml

[Tino H. Haida]

Hi Rick, 

maybe FM sees "caption" as a reserved element name.
What happens if you try with a slightly different name? 

Why don't you use simply "Title" for the table title (which FM
interprets as table title directly without r/w rule).
