group chair decision from November 2011</a>.</li>

<li>The W3C HTML specification omits a number of suggestions
regarding using the <code title=attr-title><a href=#the-title-attribute>title</a></code>
attribute, and makes using the <code title=attr-title><a href=#the-title-attribute>title</a></code> attribute for captions
non-conforming in certain specific cases, because of a number of
working group chair decisions from March 2012:

specifications and are not currently available anywhere else:</p>

title or a description of the target resource; on an image, it could
be the image credit or a description of the image; on a paragraph,
it could be a footnote or commentary on the text; on a citation, it
could be further information about the source; and so forth. The

<p>In this example, which could be part of a much larger work

discussing a castle, nested <code><a href=#the-figure-element>figure</a></code> elements are used
to provide both a group caption and individual captions for each
figure in the group:</p>
