If there are multiple image-caption pairs
they _do_ qualify as tabular data -- so long as you
keep all the images in one row/col, and all the captions
in another row/col. This is not so good if there are enough
images with captions _under_ them to wrap or cause
horizontal scrolling. That's a reason to put the captions
in one column _beside_ the images in a second column,
if you are using a table.

But if the captions must be under the images
and there are enough to wrap or cause horizontal
scrolling, then I would
agree that the data should be represented in divs.

Here's a good article on div representation:
