Let me first address the caption issue, then the more general one which is more
complicated.

I would say that both options _partly_ make sense. That's because with a
caption, you have two lengths of space: From the image to the caption and from
the image+caption, or from the image, to the outside flow of content. With no
caption, these coincide or alias each other - so different users will make
different choices between the two.

I'm not sure I agree - because all sorts of frames can have captions. Do you
want to triplicate all frame styles accordingly? What about styles the user has
created? e.g. "Fancy Graphic" and "Subdued Graphic" or whatever?

The larger issue is how transformations of frames are affected by styles of the
original frames; and whether a family of related frames (e.g. outer frame,
inner frame for captioned content, inner frame for caption) should have a style
as a triplet, or a triplet of styles; and whether such styles need to be
strongly linked; etc.
