http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10589 --- Comment #10 from Henri Sivonen <hsivonen@iki.fi> 2010-09-30 07:03:36 UTC --- (In reply to comment #9) > Making <figure> phrasing-level seems at odds with its semantics. When would you > ever want <figure> in the middle of a paragraph? Whether putting a figure in the middle of a paragraph makes sense should be irrelevant. I value CSS pragmatism over semantics. I think the spec should, too, considering the design principles if you read "CSS pragmatism" as "authors" and "semantics" as "theoretical purity". > Having it at the start (as per comment 0) or end of a paragraph makes sense, > but is completely compatible with just putting the <figure> before or after the > <p>. My understanding is that it isn't from the CSS formatting model perspective. > <figure> is supposed to be equivalent to <div class="figure">, not <span > class="figure">. I had thought the opposite when I thought adding <figure> was a good idea. > In particular, if we made <figure> phrasing, we'd have to also make it scoping, > since otherwise you couldn't put <pre> or <p> into <figure> in certain weird > cases.
