Due to an error Laura made me aware of [1], I have taken a closer look at what the HTML4-HTML5 Differences document says about <figure>. I would like all these bugs to be corrected before Hearth Beat publication. * Section 5.2 Changes from 25 August 2009 to 4 March 2010: [2] ]] The figure element now uses a new element figcaption rather than legend because people want to use HTML5 long before it reaches W3C Recommendation. [[ Bug 1. The last part "because people want to use HTML5 long before it reaches W3C Recommendation" seems extremely laconic/political/ironic. Request: Please strike this part of the sentence. Bug 2. Another spec change is not mentioned at all: between August 2009 and March 2010, <figure> was moved from section 4.8 Embedded content to section 4.5 Grouping content. See the ToC: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/#auto-toc-4 Request: Please say that it was moved. And, if you can point to a reason for it, say why it was moved. * Also in section 5.2, immediately after the figure paragraph: ]] The details element now uses a new element summary for exactly the same reason. [[ Bug 3: "The details element now uses a new element summary for exactly the same reason." Request: strike the text "for exactly the same reason". * Section 3.1 New Elements: [3] ]] figure[1] can be used to associate a caption together with some embedded content, such as a graphic or video: <figure> <video src="ogg"></video> <figcaption>Example</figcaption> </figure> figcaption provides the caption. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#the-figure-element [[ Bug 4: It is does not reflect HTML5 to present <figure> as a a way to provide captions for embedded content. (It does however match Shelley's change proposal before she changed it to a proposal to remove <figure>. Request: Describe what <figure> is meant for. Bug 5: The URL to HTML points to the incorrect section *and* it it does not point *directly* to the heartbeat draft. <a href=" http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html #the-figure-element"><code>figure</code></a> Request: Correct the URL [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Jun/0206 [2] http://dev.w3.org/html5/html4-differences/#changes-2009-08-25 [3] http://dev.w3.org/html5/html4-differences/#new-elements -- leif halvard silli
