Please do add it. If you can't convert it, just let me know and I'll do it.

Currently our convention for RST markup is to only use the image directive.
We'd have to start using the figure directive in order to get a caption for
each figure.

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/Markup_conventions#Image is
where the convention is documented.

For tables, I'm not aware of a way to ensure a caption is used, other than
to put it in our conventions as a paragraph before the table.

With the migration goal of simplifying and welcoming more contributors, it
seems a little heavy-handed to require captions for tables and figures. So
I want to hear why we would require them other than "we've done it that way
before." Any thoughts? I can't justify the overhead when we aren't doing
collections of them in the new world. Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
Anne
