[uf-new] figure microformat

[Sarven Capadisli]

re: http://microformats.org/wiki/figure
"The subject, credit, tags and licence may be children of the legend,
in which case the text within them forms part of the legend as well as
part of the child elements."

This suggests that the CAPTION that was mentioned in
http://microformats.org/wiki/figure-examples is no longer needed. I
think in this case it would be appropriate to suggest that subject,
credit, tags, license *should* be a child of LEGEND. Hence:

* figure
** image
** legend
*** credit
*** subject
