That's my main motivation, but I can imagine other uses for it.  
Explicitly associating tags (with rel-tag) with an image could help  
smart search engines to find images by keyword. If we add rel-license  
into the fold as well, then we could also search be licence (e.g.  
public domain, requires attribution, etc).

The legend provides a caption for the image.
