img:after {

(alternatively img:before)

However, (1) positioning (layout) possibilities are nil, and
(2) is this even really a good idea?

Essentially, you're saying that the caption is not relevant content,
that it's only decoration that non-CSS UAs don't need to render.
That seems unlikely, eh?

BTW, this:

seems, by the DTD, to be invalid -- labels are only allowed in forms.
Which is too bad; I've thought for quite a while that the W3C should
have defined CAPTION as applicable to any block or replaced element,
but LABEL would do as well, possibly better...

FWIW!
