For figure, it probably is what you need. DocBook doesn't really have
anything appropriate for "caption" except in mediaobject. I don't
recall why we added it to mediaobject and I sortof wish we hadn't
since it makes us look schizophrenic.
Anyway, file the feature request for using titleabbrev in the ToCs and
I'll see what I can do.
In the meantime, over on the docbook list (not here) perhaps we should
talk a little bit about the relationship between title and caption and
see if we can't come up with something a little more logical.
Be seeing you,
norm
