I was not im my office yesterday, and it has been a little hard to 
follow the cauline leaf discussion.  Cauline leaves s. srr. occur 
only when there are rosettes (but not all plants with rosettes have 
cauline leaves), and they have no particular morphology, so the 
definition

Is overly restictive from that point of view.  Nor are they 
necessarily borne on inflorescence branches, indeed, they would be on 
the scape.
