According to bug 10483, it should not be necessary to use aria-labelledby on
the <figure> in this example. (But of course using aria-labelledby like you
did, should be both permitted and best practise to do so.) The spec should make
it clear that aria-labelledby is a best practice measure.
In a summary, I suggest to make the example like this, to make it clear that
HTML5 supporting user agents do not need more than this — :
<figure role="img" >
<pre role="presentation" >
o .'`/
' / (
O .-'` ` `'-._ .')
_/ (o) '. .' /
) ))) >< <
`\ |_\ _.' '. \
'-._ _ .-' '.)
jgs `\__\
</pre>
<figcaption>
Joan G. Stark, "<cite>fish</cite>".
October 1997. ASCII on electrons. 28×8.
</figcaption>
</figure>
The <figcaption> will automatically get role="heading", and will be considered
heading of the <figure>.
Eventually, you could use the occasation to show how simple it can be done when
using <figure>, and how much more work one must do when using <div> as the
contianer. E.g .when using <div>; then it is a greater need to use
aria-labelledby, since a <div> element does not have any default
heading/caption element.
