When a bunch of us discussed this on an etherpad a while back, we ruled <figure> out because:

* Completely redefines semantics and content model of an already new element.
* Current use includes multiple images
* Current use includes non-images like code samples, video, etc.

Of course, this doesn’t mean we were right about ruling it out. :-)
