I think what would work best for this is the <figure> element I've
proposed back in june:
<figure>
<caption>Some caption here</caption>
...
</figure>
where "..." could be an image, flash or video content, inline or
external SVG or MathML or anything else. It could be made of block-
level HTML elements too: <code> could be used for captioned code
snippets, paragraphs and headers could be used when you need a sample
document, etc. I see no reason to be restrictive on the kind of
content that can be captioned.
