The easiest solution is to set up the EDD to support everything...
In the EDD define something like this:
Figure
Caption, Image
Caption
<TEXT>
Image
code for image
Then attach paragraph formatting to the caption however you want, but add a
prefix of \r to put a line break at the end of the paragraph.
Now you get this:
Figure 1: Some caption\r
ANCHORED_FRAME\p
The 'end' of the paragraph is now after the anchored frame. The entire
formatting assigned to the paragraph for caption appears (with numbering etc.)
before the text the author types.
I've got this working in my DITA template and it's really nice. Even handles
indents and more correctly. For example, if I need to indent because I have a
'task' within a 'task' I can do so. I can number then based on context and more.
If anyone on the list is at the DITA conference I'll be showing this exact
template there as well. If you want to see an example, I may be able to build a
generic one over the weekend. Let me know...

Hi, Fred...never said it didn't. After all, it is a paragraph tag, so it must
be a paragraph. However, in my case, my achored from is designated as "at
insertion point" and I shrinkwrap all my graphics (esc m p). To me, it doesn't
matter that it is a paragraph attribute as the graphic is the only thing in the
paragraph.

As you said, it isn't good practice.
