The "figure" tag is just a placeholder in the Docbook
(http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/figure.html).
The question is what to place inside this tag: "graphic" (not inline),
"mediaobject/imageobject" (alternative object, supports inline contents
and SVG), or something else.
So you surely can insert some picture from an external file (.png,
.jpg), but if it could contain title or some labels that should be
translated, it's not a best solution.
