> On a <figcaption> element: Is it possible to include long description
with list ?
I wouldn't see a reason why you couldn't, however my understanding of using
figure and figcaption makes the content inside of it one big chunk. Reading
an alt, long description and a bulleted list about the same thing
altogether may lead to information overload.
> On a <figcaption> element: is it possible to include table with caption?
The technique is of a table with a caption, so I don't quite follow your
question. Can you explain? It is always a good idea to give the actual data
along with a chart. This helps the content owner by not forcing them to
write a 2 paragraph alt attribute. It helps people with low vision and
cognitive issues if the cannot match the height of the bar with the value
on the axis.

element?
I think this loops back to your first question/example. We can change the
code to the following and be valid still:
<figure role="group"> <img src="flowchart.gif" alt="Flowchart 1">
<figcaption><strong>Flowchart 1- Process for dealing with a
non-functioning lamp. </strong>
<p>If your lamp doesn't work you may be in the dark!</p>
<p>More details</p>
<p>even more</p>
</figcaption>
</figure>
