Not sure whether any reference will be definitive as there will always
be those that argue when it comes to style. However, a web search for
"typesetting captions for tables and figures" gives quite a few results,
the first of which is interesting:
https://www.e-education.psu.edu/styleforstudents/c4_p12.html
which is headed "Captions for figures and tables". I quote:
The caption for a figure appears below the graphic; for a table,
above.
The fact that LaTeX encourages the above is also a good sign.
However, I should add that I could be somewhat anglo-centric in this: I
really have no idea what technical writing in other languages might look
like.
