FIG
Description
The FIG element is an advanced form of the
element to define an image, with optional
overlays, text elements and "hotzones", to be inserted
within a document.
The structure of the contents of the FIG element expects
a series of optional overlay images defined by OVERLAY elements,
followed by an optional CAPTION element,
followed by text to be presented as an alternative to the image(s)
and which may contain normal text elements as well as
hypertext links defined by A elements with
SHAPE attributes to identify "hotzones" on the image,
finally completed by an optional CREDIT element.

Variations
The FIG element is proposed in Version 3 as a sophisticated
alternative to the IMG element, especially to enhance the capabilities
of the ALT text for non-graphical presentations of HTML documents,
as well as a way to accomplish the common use of the ISMAP attribute
of the IMG element without the need for a responding cgi-bin program.
