Oh, Dale, the things you make me do -- like giving it another shot, just when I'd given up.
Okay, you inspired me to try again, and with a fair bit of frustration I managed to get the whole gallery of paintings done up (14 images w/captions in all), and everything seems to have turned out fine -- for the most part, anyway. It looks fine in ADE (I tried it in both v.3 as well as v.2, and it comes out okay in both), and then sent it over to my iPad to check, and although the images/captions aren't centered vertically on the page (as they are in ADE), that doesn't matter too much, I suppose.
What's weird on the iPad, though, is that each and every image has a little horizontal line added up at the top-left of the image -- see the attached screenshot here. I haven't got a clue where that comes from, it's not there in ADE, nor do I see anything funny that I might have added in my code.
And the text is so small.
Oded (I think it was) had suggested 2em, I ended up going with 3em, but even still it's very small -- at least, when you're in a two-page spread like this. I could change it to 4em or something, of course, but then if you're in a single-page mode then it comes out way too big.
And this has me wondering -- once again -- whether I should just do it the HTML way as I was going to. That little line that's showing up is annoying, and what I don't like about this SVG method is that the font size for the caption changes along with the size of the pic, that I can't just have it be the size that I want it to be (regardless), in keeping with the font size(s) used elsewhere in my book.
I'm totally on the fence about this now, and not sure what I'll end up doing, as a result. :/

OFFTOPIC: On an unrelated note, while checking this in ADE v.2, I noticed that my transparent PNGs (used elsewhere in my book) aren't transparent, the entire area that should be transparent comes out as black (which looks awful, of course). Does ADE2 not support PNG transparency? And should I care what ADE2 does (so to speak)? I tested it in that because it was previously recommended (elsewhere) that I do so -- indeed, that I should also test it in v.1, too (which I haven't, but could).
