Figure/Figcaption for Image Widget

In D8 now you can use CKEditor to add an image caption. This properly wraps an image in a figure/figcaption element. I do think this would be a useful option for the image system. It would also make the UI more consistent.

If this is done though, we'd need to keep in mind from the W3C "An image is contained within a figure element and has an associated caption provided using the figcaption element. Using an empty alt attribute hides an image from some users. If an image has a caption the image needs to be discoverable by users, otherwise a caption is present that refers to nothing for some users."

Some screenshots of what it could look like (and I added figure/figcaption here too)

Made with gimp sadly
