The only problem is that it isn't very backwards compatible.
Firefox doesn't include <caption> in the DOM outside of a table.
Moving the caption after the image in the source and setting
display: block; on the image gives reasonable results in Firefox
and Opera because the img is a child of figure, but not in IE
because figure and img are treated as siblings.
I have exposed this problem previously (look back at this thread in
April). In fact, my first thought was that this was a show-stopper
for that particular syntax and that a substitue ought to be found.
Then I realised that, contrary to my first belief, others elements in
the current draft -- namely <section>, <nav>, <header>, <footer>,
<aside>, and maybe others -- aren't backward compatible either
because they can't contain even a paragraph, at least in Safari and
Firefox.
Will this prevent <section> and others from being adopted? I doubt
it. Should this prevent a <figure> element from being adopted? I
don't think so.
