Well, it is mentioned in:

http://www.sagehill.net/xml/docbookxsl/PrintCustomEx.html

under "Figure, table, and other title".

Add this to your customization layer:

<xsl:template name="formal.object.heading">
  <xsl:param name="object" select="."/>
  <p class="title">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="local-name($object) = 'figure'">
        <span class="title-header">
          <xsl:apply-templates select="$object" mode="object.title.markup">
            <xsl:with-param name="allow-anchors" select="1"/>
          </xsl:apply-templates>
        </span>
        <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="$object" mode="title.markup">
          <xsl:with-param name="allow-anchors" select="1"/>
        </xsl:apply-templates>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <b>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="$object" mode="object.title.markup">
            <xsl:with-param name="allow-anchors" select="1"/>
          </xsl:apply-templates>
        </b>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </p>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:param name="local.l10n.xml" select="document('')"/>
<l:i18n xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0";>
  <l:l10n language="en">
    <l:context name="title">
      <l:template name="figure" text="Figure %n:"/>
    </l:context>
  </l:l10n>
</l:i18n>

This customizes the 'formal.object.heading' template
that outputs the title.  The original is found
in html/formal.xsl.  When the element is a figure,
I removed the <b> tags, as you probably already did.
Then I use object.title.markup to output just the "Figure
N:" part by changing the gentext template for figure
in context "title" to output just the label and number.
That's the second part in the 'local.l10n.xml' parameter.
Then I close the <span>, output text space, and use the
'title.markup' template, which outputs just the title.

I keep the original processing steps in the
xsl:otherwise part to handle non-figure formal objects.
You can expand the test to include tables, examples, etc.
