I was certainly not suggesting such a terminology.
My point is rather that what reST refers to as a
figure "legend" is in fact a rather multi-use
container.  In fact, I do not think I have ever
used it to hold a legend; instead, I use it to
hold figure notes.  I would hazard that my usage
is the most common, since legend information is
very often part of the figure (in one way or another).
Example attached (from Jones 2015).

That said, tables often contain meaningful markers
or colors, whose meaning needs to be explicated in
the notes.  (E.g., markers of statistical significance
levels.)  This is quite similar to a figure legend.
