A better way would be to semantically attach the caption or cutline to the image itself, so its display is paired naturally. In this way, the width of the cutline would be dictated (unless overruled in the stylesheet) by the width of the image. I'm suggesting that CAPTION be adopted as a new attribute of the IMG element, as it is already for the TABLE element.
I don't think caption should be an attribute, an element maybe, but not an attribute.
The problem is that captions can and do have substructure. For instance, a caption might include multiple emphasized or strongly emphasized sections. Attributes just aren't powerful enough for this.
Given that, I suspect we're probably better off just using regular paragraphs in text with appropriate CSS instructions rather than introducing a new element.
