I expect it would also be useful if you don't have the right script to hand for a caption.
Steve, does your Image: syntax allow this sort of thing?

How is that useful?
A more useful image to use in a caption would be a small icon like a flag after a country's name, of a big tick/cross on correct or incorrect images (before and after shots, for example). In other words, images that are used inline.

I suppose comedic abuse of Mediawiki doesn't *really* count. OTOH, that was presumably meant to survive software upgrades.

Yes, thank you :-)

I think I've seen little icons used in captions as legends for a map. That's a useful case of images in the caption.

Yep. I went to some lengths to make that possible, and in fact my grammar outperforms the current renderer. Afaik, image captions are the only infinitely nestable wikitext language element. You can embed everything in them except special blocks - lists, headings, space-blocks, and anything that requires a special character in the first column.*
Parsing such a beast is pretty scary though. The parse tree that ANTLR generates for even a moderately nested image tag is pretty humongous.
Steve * I haven't tried too hard to test this. Maybe it's possible with a template that contains a list or something.
