[Framers] Table Title gets dropped on save as xml

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Tino,

It doesn't seem to matter what I name the element or whether or not I use RW
rules. I don't get the Table Title element or content in the XML.

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).
