Comment:

 Expected behavior by screen reader users is that links are accessible in
 the tab order while captions are generally read using the arrow keys.
 Browsers are not passing the figcaption info correctly to the DOM yet, so
 this info isn't getting passed to screen readers. Nonetheless this is the
 correct way to use the standard and browsers/screen readers will catch up
 so I recommend this patch be passes.
