You summary misses my and Olaf's proposal
<dl semanticAttribute >
which I, in Feb 2008 laid out as <dl figure > <dl details >.
Should be quite semantically coherent and easy to learn (nods to
Shelley and Lars). The <dt> would then caption the <dd> of each
<dl semanticAttriute > element. I don't see any principal reasons
to not allow multiple dt and dd elements inside a <dl figure >,
for instance.
