Is <figcaption> part of the <figure>? One could argue that captions are 
not part the stuff that it captions. Still all caption elements are 
children of the thing that they caption.

The advantage of having a choice between placing <subline> inside or 
outside the h1-h6 elements is that one this way can govern whether the 
subline should show up in outlines as a section of a heading - or not.
