    no its definitely not: http://html5doctor.com/the-figure-figcaption-elements/

    The figure element represents a unit of content, optionally with a
    caption, that is self-contained, that is typically referenced as a
    single unit from the main flow of the document, and that can be moved
    away from the main flow of the document without affecting the
    document’s meaning. W3C Specification

    you can’t remove it from the flow of the document. It its not next to the navigation point, it makes no more sense.

    Just use a span or a :before pseudo element.
