I also am uncomfortable with FIGCAPTION and SUMMARY elements.
Considering CAPTION parsing specifics, maybe LABEL element could be used instead of CAPTION inside FIGURE, DETAILS, etc.
LABEL is just inline element that has no special "parsing rules" (unlike CAPTION).
Another solution is to allow CAPTION in place of FIGCAPTION and SUMMARY elements _simultaneously_, sothat FIGCAPTION and SUMMARY elements could be used _right now_, while CAPTION would be possible to be used in near future -- as browsers are updated.
P.S. It probably makes sense to file a bug -- this would simplify tracking the issue. You can do this here:
