I'm somewhat confused.  What relevance does this particular issue have
to <figure>/<aside> overlap?

I must admit that I've never understood the apparent confusion between
the two.  I think the distinction is extremely clear, personally, but
perhaps my mind is wired a bit differently.

In any case, though, saying that a table can be a <figure> or not
doesn't seem to impact on the definition of <aside>, right?
