Thanks for these exmaples, Peter, though I think they will be unconvincing to
those not already persuaded. They are all whole page images, and the fact that
they interrupt the text flow is just a consequence of the pagination. The
<figure> doesn't logically have to appear at that point at all. 

More convincing would be an example where a <figure> was actually a *part* of
the thing it appeared inside, such as a heading or trailer containing a figure.

That said, however, I think there's a plausible enough case to be made for
making <figure> global.

I'll be posting a summary of the amber voting figures in an hour or two. Must
get some dinner first!
