As a newcomer still working through the specification, it is not clear
to me that <figure> requires a <legend>.

The content model calls for "exactly one legend element".  But then
several paragraphs later the text reads "The first legend element child
of the element, if any...."

I think this part of the specification needs to more clearly state if
one legend element is required, or if zero is acceptable.
