Always [figure] around [img]

Hello World,

in current versions, WP supports HTML5 figure tags, activated like this:

add_theme_support( 'html5', array(
'search-form', 'comment-form', 'comment-list', 'gallery', 'caption'
) );

But it adds a <figure> tag only if there is a caption.

I want to have an <figure> tag around ALL <img> tags, with or without captions, since I can layout them better, e.g. place them completely outside the surroundong <p> elements.

This should not be too complicated …?

Thanks a lot

Arnd
