Comment 1 Michael[tm] Smith 2009-07-06 06:50:36 CEST

The constraint that requires more than the usual amount of work to implement checking on this is the following added constraint on the <legend> element:

  Content model:
  "When the parent node is a figure element: flow content, but with
   no descendant figure elements.

  "Otherwise: phrasing content.
