Good question! I should have clarified, sorry about that.

I'm letting the images hit my page sans width/height attributes, so
there's no width other than what the browser calculates.

As far as responsive goes, I'm working with an image horizontally
centered on the page; whatever technique I use, the container needs to
respect the width of the browser (i.e. like max-width:100% for
responsive images). In other words, the the image, and the parent
markup, needs to scale down as the viewport get smaller.

When I was playing with display:table on the <figure>, I was having
issues with the <figure> being "responsive" and scaling down as the
viewport got smaller (I had better luck with display:inline-block and
text-align:center).

Anyway, my fundamental problem is getting captions to fit under an
image of an unknown width. From there, once I got that working, I'd
need to make sure that things respected max-width:100% (or similar
technique, as long as things scaled to the viewport size).

Hopefully that helps to clarify. Please let me know if I can provide
more information.
