A better way would be to semantically attach the caption or cutline to

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.
I agree, attributes are too weak (eg. couldn't support
http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/ ).
