RE: Figure numbers - in the flow or in the frame?

I'll just add that one reason NOT to put a paragraph with figure
autonumbers inside anchored frames concerns when it is encountered in
Frame's flow handling during TOC and other list generation. 

I recall generations of Framers bemoaning and trouble-shooting their
exotic figure numbering (or the placement thereof within a mixed
TOC+figure list), and eventually yanking their captions out of the
frames. Something about Frame incrementing a flow at a time, and those
untagged flows represented by every text rectangle paragraph inside an
anchored frame only get encountered after Frame has scrolled through the
main flow of your file. If I remember correctly. 

Dunno if this particular behavior has ever changed in the several
releases that have gone past sine I learned of it.
