+1 for bringing the include pattern back. Even if the suitable caption is not used somewhere else on the page, it would be appropriate to /connect/ the reference point (context) with the figure itself. For instance, without the include pattern, the following is common (examples need to be cited): <p><a href="#figure_1">Photo 1</a> shows Einstein riding a motorcycle.</p> ... <div class="figure" id="figure_1"> </div> > > Finally I'd like to see one or more use-cases explained - what will > parsers actually /do/ with this information? If I understand this correctly, one possible use for parsers is to list figures with their context in the document. Similar to footnotes?
