 Replying to [comment:2 philbuchanan]:
 > I understand the desire to force the caption to wrap, but isn't this
 something that should be done by theme developers? As it stands, it's very
 difficult to override this inline style in a themes stylesheet.

 It's also very difficult to force a caption to wrap in a theme without
 this inline style, since an image's width is determined by the user's
 actions, not the theme specifications.

 Every time I look at this, I feel like despite having dedicated HTML
 elements (figure and figcaption), HTML itself is letting us down here. If
 someone can come up with a sane way to do this, from the perspective of
 the user, the theme developer, and the core developer, then I'm all ears.
