<figure> and <figcaption> support

phihag
<figure> and <figcaption> (http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-figure-element) are simple block-elements, but rendering the following file

<!doctype html>
<figure>
<img src="http://www.princexml.com/images/plogo5.png">
<figcaption>Prince Logo</figcaption>
</figure>

(download: http://phihag.de/2011/prince/figure.html)
with prince 8.0 beta 1 yields:

prince: figure.html:2: error: Tag figure invalid
prince: figure.html:4: error: Tag figcaption invalid

These are treated as block elements by our default HTML style sheets, but unfortunately the parser doesn't know about them yet, and will produce spurious warnings. We are working on a HTML5-compliant parser that will fix this and other issues, for now all I can suggest is ignoring these warnings.
