Yes, agreed as well other than to say that I have found [hbtp] to work
for most of my writing over the years. I have seldom had to change from
this default. But that could simply be a reflection of the types of
documents I work with.
Of course, as soon as you start talking about two-column formats, all of
this goes out the window! :-)

My point was simply that mixing 'h' and 'p' is perfectly legal: they
need not be treated as mutually exclusive options!
But, in any case, having an org variable that allows setting the figure
captions is fantastic: thanks to Eric Schulte for already implementing
this!
