I urge caution with this, as the descriptions are designed to be read 
'as is' and not designed to be interrogated the way you would a data 
table and its contents or similar. To structure this content with that 
goal in mind requires a slightly different approach and brings up 
questions of user agent support and formats.

FYI, these alternatives can be marked up as static items, and the 
preferred semantics can be discussed, but I designed each figure 
alternative so it can be read in a rather linear fashion by a screen 
reader user without the need for complex relationship description.

I hope this helps clarify my intention.

Thanks
