I would prefer if the data tag used a "type", that defaulted to text, for this purpose. In this scenario, you would use the label tags for captions. This would make the infoboxes much more flexible, and allow for the tabber/gallery feature to be an aspect of the "group" tag. That looks redundant, currently a gallery can only contain images or video. So if the group has a gallery layout, its child tags don't need a type.

I don't disagree that my example has redundancies. It was meant to show you an example of what I was trying to explain about using data types. However, if you wanted to incorporate a secondary image, say a character image as the primary and further down the infobox an image of a map to the character's location as the secondary image, you could do this with my example. It would also make it easier to pull the tabber info from the groups, rather than having to learn tabber syntax.

e.g. -

Tabbed Infobox ...etc...

I could easily see: group type="gallery" overriding default of text for a particular group. I was just under the impression that we were trying to encourage the use of text data in infoboxes, hence the default being text. If you want to have a variable default, that's fine. If you don't want a default, then you could have the type be explicit (as I used in my earlier example).
