It might be nice for psql to have a 'htmlcaption' boolean pset option that 
would wrap the provided title/caption, if any, in a caption tag in the HTML 
report output, when using html format.

Motivation:

When I use:

    \pset title 'Some title'

or

    \C 'Some title'

psql emits the text:

    Title is "Some title".

even when using html format.  This seems more like a diagnostic/annotation 
(like 'Title is unset', which is what you get from a plain "\pset title") than 
report output.  For casual use, even "\echo Some title" is more pleasant, 
except for post-processing by scripts, which people are no doubt doing.  When 
using html format, it would arguably be better for the title to be wrapped in a 
caption tag inside the table itself.  You couldn't change the default behavior, 
but the html caption would be a nice option.

Kevin Murphy
