I'm wondering what WA1 considers appropriate markup for a figure with a caption.
<p><img src="image-equivalent-of-text" alt="text" title="caption"></p>

That's fairly limited because it doesn't allow markup within the title attribute. What about extending the <caption> element, currently used with <table>, to <img>, <object> and <embed>?

Something like this?

    <figure>
      <img src="...">
      <caption>Some image found <a href="...">here</a></caption>
    </figure>

I think it's a great idea, but there is a backward-compatibility problem: current HTML parsers just ignore the caption element when outside a table; you can't style it and it probably is absent from the DOM too. Parsing it as XML works, but then the default style isn't pretty at all. Here are my two (unstyled) test cases which I have tested using WebKit and Gecko:
