[g-a-devel] HTML 5 figure and figcaption elements.

[Alexander Surkov <surkov alexander gmail com>]

Hi. HTML 5 provides two new elements figure and figcaption that seems
to don't have a good way for ATK mapping.

The proposal is:
1) introduce new ATK role for figure element like ROLE_FIGURE
2) use ROLE_CAPTION for figcaption element
3) make figure and figcaption accessible objects related by label relations
