Graphic captions, numbering, linking

The WSD WG is using a modified (*sic*) version of the xmlspec.xsl, so I
cannot do an easy synchronization. Anyway, 2 things that editors like to
have are, I think, worth the consideration for xmlspec.xsl:
- Graphic captions
- numbering of tables, graphics, and examples.
- Links to tables, graphics, and examples.

1- Graphic captions:
 2 solutions are possible:
 - Add a child element caption to the graphic element (but it is
unnecessary imho).
 - WSD is now using the alt attribute for the caption:
      <p style='text-align:left'>
        <i><span><xsl:text>Figure </xsl:text>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="divnum"/>
        <xsl:text>. </xsl:text></span>
        <xsl:value-of select="@alt"/></i>
      </p>

For an example, see
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/ws/desc/wsdl12/wsdl12.html?rev=1.39&content-type=text/html#serviceresfig1

2- numbering of tables, graphics, and examples.
 I adopted the O'Reilly style to have numbers on the graphics, examples,
and tables:
  <xsl:template mode="divnum" match="graphic">
    <xsl:number level="multiple" count="div1" format="1"/>
    <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
    <xsl:number level="any" from='div1' count="graphic" format="1"/>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template mode="divnum" match="back//graphic">
    <xsl:number level="multiple" count="div1 | inform-div1" format="A"/>
    <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
    <xsl:number level="any" from='div1 | inform-div1' count="graphic"
format="1"/>
  </xsl:template>

  (ditto for table and example)

3. Links to tables, graphics, and examples use the same approach:

      <xsl:when test="local-name($target) = 'graphic'">
        <a>
          <xsl:attribute name="href">
            <xsl:call-template name="href.target">
              <xsl:with-param name="target" select="id(@ref)"/>
            </xsl:call-template>
          </xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:text>Figure </xsl:text>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="id(@ref)" mode="divnum"/>
        </a>
      </xsl:when>

At the same time, I also changed the captions handling for examples and
tables to match O'Reilly style: the caption appears before, in italic,
in a normal font-size, and aligned to the left. For graphic, the caption
appears after the image.
