hi simon, >Yeah, figure has the same association model as fieldset/legend. where is the association model articulated? Is there an algorithm? Does every element within a figure (apart from figcaption) get labelled by the figcaption? Or is it only container elements? what form does the association take? Is it the accessible description? is it the accessible name? does it get concatenated with the an alt on an image or the title on any element contained in the <figure>? Apologies for the barrage of questions. regards stevef On 14 June 2010 21:56, Simon Pieters <simonp@opera.com> wrote: > On Mon, 14 Jun 2010 22:49:41 +0200, Gregory J.
