It appears that figcaption should be listed under flow content, but it isn't.
No? It's only allowed in <figure>.
So shouldn't it be dealt with like area? That says: "area (if it is a descendant of a map element)"

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: rejected, Change Description: reverted previous commit Rationale: 'kinds of content' refers to what category of content the element is. figcaption is not included within a content category, therefore is not included in kinds of content. note its says: "Each element in HTML falls into *zero or more* categories that group elements with similar characteristics together." http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/dom.html#categories-1 thanks to mike smith for clearing this up for me.
