Hi Dave,
You can certainly make this a customization for your stylesheet, but I don't
think it would make a very good general feature for the DocBook distro
because of the generated text in the TOC listing. Both caption and
textobject can contain any combination of block elements, which would not be
suitable for a TOC line. And just listing Mediaobject 1, Mediaobject2, etc.
would not seem to be particularly useful to a reader (assuming the reader
knew what a "Mediaobject" was). So I see this as a specialized application
for which a customization would be suitable.
