Attached is a simple patch that works by silently drops the caption in
a sneaky way.  I didn't experience any problems when testing it, but
you might have more insights as to whether this approach have latent
issues.

I think we had the discussion with leaving out packages earlier, when
discussing things like wrap-float etc.  As I recall, the consensus was
to include the necessary packages.  Thus, I think solution (iii) would
require adding caption to the default package alist.  Caption is a
package that's very good, so I wouldn't mind it.  But, I'm still not
convinced that non-floating caption for equation is the correct
behavior.
