The problem with that is that you are using div to encapsulate the
image and it's caption, bacuase img is not a container.

Perhaps

<object class=fig data=... >
  <caption>Figure 1. ...</caption>
</object>

(As Jon says, autonumbering is preferable).

Or we could invent a new FIG tag ... or was that done already.
