Rich, When I first read this, I thought the word main was referring to the main element. But then I noticed it says "main document". Later it uses the phrase "main text". I am assuming that a figure could be used as part of an aside. Maybe it would be worth considering some way of wording this that doesn't use "main or clarifies what main means in this context.

We need this for SVG Accessibility as we need a mechanism to isolate figures that could be pulled into a list of figures by assistive technologies. Since we are doing this for ARIA and SVG we would also like to reuse it for HTML. Please look at the following text and let me know if this definition would be sufficient so that HTML could use this role as the default native host language semantics for the figure role. figure A perceivable section of content which supports the main document, and should be easily locatable regardless of its position in the layout. A figure may contain a graphical document, an image, or other content such as code snippets or example text. A figure should be referenced from the main text but does not need to be displayed directly where it is referenced. A figure MAY have an associate label or caption, or an associated description. Assistive technologies <http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#dfn-assistive-technologies > SHOULD enable users to quickly navigate to figures. Mainstream user agents <http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#dfn-user-agent> MAY enable users to quickly navigate to figures. The figure role would be a subclass of role section.
