And I agree your example with plain <summary> reads nicely. Shelley, are you willing to reconsider your objection on this point? Does anyone else have an opinion one way or the other? I also find Ian's argument convincing. There's no need for the extra letter when we can just use <summary>, and I don't see any clear reason why we can't. We can use <summary> in tables as well if we want to do that, there's no reason it has to be figure-only -- the only reason <caption>/<legend>/<label> can't be used in multiple elements is because of legacy parsing rules that won't be applicable here. The only other objection I've seen is that it's used as an unrelated attribute, but Ian's list of all the other cases where that's true (including two new to HTML5, it seems?) is pretty convincing evidence that it's not a problem.
