No. I chose door #2 because: 

-- It doesn't look odd to me (or at least, it doesn't any more). 

-- The "how we do things" way (captions below figures) is a relic of the
print-only days that just doesn't make sense in the world of HTML, PDF,
and hyperlinks. 

-- I don't have thousands of illustrations in more than a hundred
manuals, but if I did, I'd sure have more important things to do than
hand-insert hypertext tags for them. 

YMMV. ;-)
