Web pages commonly use blockquotes for artful text quips (pull
quotes, ie conrefs from the marketing/news narrative, in effect)
as well as for lengthy quotes used in the usual research/context
manner. Web themes usually provide a theme-specific CSS class
value that manages the visual distinction. Via Lightweight DITA,
authors could use an easy way to "clone elements for a new
semantic role" to handle that need with improved components.
But in general, it's hard to say what ought *not* be allowed
inside fig. If there is no cost to leaving them in, I'm inclined
to allow more things, not less. My reasoning is that fig's payload
(the part that an editor would expose as a typed field) is the
same as the body field, hence an implementation could call for the
same datatype handling in both editing cases. If you restrict what
one field can have, then your implementation must support "fig
field" content interfaces vs "body field" interfaces. In standard,
schema-driven editors, these field definitions ultimately go back
to PCDATA, timestamps, and other typed data primitives.
Lightweight editors necessarily focus on the more narrative chunks
of content, hence having fewer narrative data types helps to lower
the cost of implementation. This long reasoning hearkens back to
identifying what a common "para block" data-type requires and in
what places that block may be allowed (body, li, lq, section, fig,
note, etc. all come to mind as being basically the same).

I
am adding <fig> to the Lightweight DITA DTDs and I need
some agreement on what to leave out. <fig> can contain
many elements and attributes in full DITA.
I think I should leave out these elements for LW DITA:
figgroup, fn, lines, lq, note, sl, data-about
I'm leaving in these elements, which were already allowed:
title, desc, data, simpletable, xref, dl, image, object, ol, p,
pre, ul
Thoughts? I'm still working on the attributes.
