All of the figures on those pages are either between paragraphs or floated 
(in the latter case the exact position in the markup can't be guessed, but 
there's no reason to put such figures in the middle of a sentence either; 
doing so makes it harder to maintain).

There are a number of inline images on those pages, but those would be 
equivalent to just <img> with alternative text, IMHO, not <figure>.
