Please correct me, but i would have thought that a primary use case for the figure/figcaption elements would be to mark up images such as: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dunechaser/134672022/ example: <figure> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/45/134672022_684792c559.jpg> <figcaption>Inventor of the World Wide Web, director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Knight Commander of the British Empire.</figcaption> </figure> this seems at odds with the figure element as specified: "The element can thus be used to annotate illustrations, diagrams, photos, code listings, etc, that are referred to from the main content of the document, but that could, without affecting the flow of the document, be moved away from that primary content, e.g. to the side of the page, to dedicated pages, or to an appendix." http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/grouping-content.html#the-figure-element As in the case above the image IS the main content of the document. Am i reading the spec incorrectly or is the spec incorrect or is the use in the example incorrect? -- with regards Steve Faulkner Technical Director - TPG Europe Director - Web Accessibility Tools Consortium www.paciellogroup.com | www.wat-c.org Web Accessibility Toolbar - http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/wat-ie-about.html
