It's the same as with fieldset/legend. [[ The legend element represents a caption for the rest of the contents of the legend element's parent fieldset element, if any. ]] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete/forms.html#the-legend-element [[ The figcaption element represents a caption or legend for the rest of the contents of the figcaption element's parent figure element, if any. ]] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete/grouping-content.html#the-figcaption-element How this translates to accessibility APIs is probably up to the UA/AT, I believe. -- Simon Pieters Opera Software
