Description

In non-maximized mode, wrap map in a small box, similar to how images are being framed.
If <mapframe text=...> is given, show that text under the frame.
Treat text as wiki markup.
If <mapframe frameless>, show the map without the frame.

Open question:

~~In case align= attribute is set to (none|inline|...?), make the map behave as an inline block. This might be a separate task.~~. Nobody has requested it.

Description labels for other multimedia elements such as images and video have the option to provide a caption.
Existing use of interactive maps on Wikivoyage include many examples of maps with captions.
- It also looks like the caption is also a mechanism to provide a full-screen map in these examples. A bit 'mystery-meat' navigation, but could be useful if designed well.
  - To pick on this particular implementation for a second, the icon is confusingly the same used across wikis to denote an external link. It should be something else.
Captions could provide clarity to what the visitor is viewing and can provide assistance to people using tools such as screen readers.
Most importantly, I just tried to add a caption to the page where we are asking community members for feedback and ideas. I wanted to have a example map, with a label to clarify its relationship with the surrounding text. I couldn't do that. :)
