No, there is nothing specifically image-oriented about the <figure> 
element. That Sword filters always interpret it as an image is 
irrelevant to my point.

Moving forward, we can mandate that (for Sword) non-image data embedded 
with <figure> be tagged with an attribute (e.g. type="x-audio") or we 
can add the tag ourselves in the importer by reading filename 
extensions. Then the OSISHTMLHREF filter can watch for type="x-audio" 
and generate <audio> or whatever (depending on whether we're targeting 
HTML5 or something else).
