Emacs version: 29.1
Org-mode version: f3de4c3e041e0ea825b5b512dc0db37c78b7909e (latest in git)

This test document parses as a keyword:
```
#+CAPTION[*foo*]: baz
```

but this test document parses as a paragraph:
```
#+CAPTION[*foo* bar]: baz
```

Expected. In the first case,
KEY = CAPTION[*foo*]
and VALUE = baz

In the second case, keyword does not match, because KEY cannot have
spaces.

https://orgmode.org/worg/org-syntax.html#Keywords

Note that _affiliated keyword_ has an optional form of

#+KEY[OPTVAL]: VALUE

where OPTVAL can have spaces.

But isolated #+CAPTION cannot be an affiliated keyword, which is why you
see what you see.

Whether we should allow OPTVAL in ordinary keywords has been discussed ,
and we might do it to simplify things at some point. But the rules are
like the above for now.

Ah, that was what I was missing, thanks!
