Thanks, I commited it and added a div float-caption for the caption
itself.

In Info, the float name is added as a label, but not in HTML.  The
problem I see is that the float label would completly disappear.  Some
users may want to keep the float label information.  Maybe use, in
analogy, float type and number if @xrefautomaticsectiontitle is on?
Or add something like 

  @xrefautomaticfloatname on/off

Opinions?


In any case, I'll implement using the float type and number as the href
text even if it is only set by a customization variable.
