> I'd like to know, too, why you shouldn't put figure numbers in anchored
frames

Well, it usually works OK, but there's more work to get it right.
You have to manually insert, resize and place a text frame inside
the anchored frame, and manually assign the correct paragraph tag.
(This is taken care of automatically if you use an Anchor tag with
a Figure tag set as the Next P Tag.)
If the graphic changes its size or is moved within the anchored frame,
or if the anchored frame has to be resized, you may have to manually
move the text frame.
There is no way to globally change the alignment or placing of the
figure caption/titles, which is very easy to do if you put it in
the normal text flow. And sometimes, numbering in text frames do
get messed up due to some funky text flow problem.

If you use a one-cell table with no rulings and use the table title
for the figure title, you get even more automation, but less
possibilities of placing figures in "imaginative" positions.
