"Invisible" captions need to be discussed for our documentation in general.

Although <caption> is optional for HTML 5, the accessibility guidelines that we follow require that we use it. We need to work to provide useful (and visible) captions on tables.

I'd rather leave bold rendering for keys, I think it makes sense. Yet it's up to you to decide.

Something like this?

Yes, looks good to me.

The <caption> element is optional. Does it make any difference to have one if it's hidden? With “display: none” it will not be visible to assistive technologies such as screen reader, will it?

The "caption" tag is used across our javadocs because in most cases the content of the "caption" tag is a content of the "summary" tag which was deprecated in html5, I guess at some point we will need to migrate to "aria-label" or something like this.

Yeah, I understand that. And it makes sense where <caption> is visible.
In this case, <caption> element has “display: none” style, thus it's invisible for visual browser users, and it's invisible for screen reader users as well. As such, we could drop <caption> element completely.

It's rather a concern for discussion…
