You can add a real caption as well as a title.

<figure>
   <title>The Figure of DOOM</title>
   <mediaobject>
     <imageobject>
       <imagedata fileref="images/DOOM.png" />
     </imageobject>
     <caption>
       <para>
         Doom is upon us, repent!.
       </para>
   </caption>
  </mediaobject>
</figure>
