1. When displaying a standard wiki table with caption, there is a border around the caption that I'm pretty sure was not there before. I don't think the bar should cause that border.
2. I think the "scroll" bar probably should extend to the top of the tbody rather than the top of the table. Or at least the top of the highest headers rather than the caption. The bar causes otherwise good whitespace to be a sad grayspace extending past what looks to be the visible table, until you realize the caption is there.

2 isn't possible, but this definitely makes a good argument for 1.

3. The "arrow" on the bar indicating scrolley isn't in the viewport on tall tables at all times and probably should be.

Per 1-2, yeah, just gonna kill that for now too, I think. Maybe bring it back as a popout toggle later if I ever figure out how to pop them out. And ideally we'd just have a sticky scrollbar (on desktop) to indicate the scrollability better without anything weird anyway, but... this is apparently very beyond my skill.

Table caption content might stand to be centered in the viewport. I can take this one or leave it. Minerva aligns this text left on mobile resolutions, so that might be preferable in general?

Don't know how to do this either, so... yeah, let's just copy minerva.

Okay maybe 2 is possible but it scares the bejeezers out of me so I'm just gonna pretend it isn't.

Hmm, we might be able to change the position of the shadows, and do some horrible hacks to the caption to get it to cooperate after all...
