I think it would be a terrible message to send if we tell HTML authors that the only way to include text or tabular data in a figure is to turn it into an image. Text on the Web should be marked up as text whenever possible, even if it is serving a largely graphical purpose. Ditto for tabular data. Turning text or tables into images is bad for accessibility, indexability, find-in-page features, copy/paste. It's an anti-pattern. If restricting <figure> would have this effect on HTML authoring then we absolutely should not do it. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
