Description Shane McCarron 2015-01-30 16:40:33 UTC 
The Graphical Representations example describes a technique using role=group and caption, but says that figure / figcaption would be better when it is supported.  Is it now supported?
Comment 1 Charles McCathieNevile 2016-04-11 18:13:08 UTC 
figcaption works with some browsers sometimes. 

There's at least one test case for a bunch of the ways it might or might not work at chaals.github.io/testcases/figcaption-anywhere.html and there is an open issue in HTML: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/177
