Reading the text closely enough implies it, but it would have been nice if they'd have mentioned it. Good catch.

Of course, it looks like you can put all kinds of formatting in the <caption></caption> pair.

They do not say "only one is allowed per table" but it is an obvious consequence of the statements of where a caption is allowed:

The <caption> tag must be inserted immediately after the <table> tag.

Permitted parents: A <table> element, as its first descendant.

Contexts in which this element can be used: As the first element child of a table element.
