Yup, it is indeed nice; if image maps had been designed that way from the

There are fours ways of doing image maps in HTML4:
Server-side with form submit:
form ... input type=image ... /form
Server-side with hyperlink:
a ... img ismap ... /a
Client-side with area:
img usemap=#foo (or object usemap=#foo/object)
map id=foo
...
area coords=...

If Moz and Opera support it, then it already passes CR criteria.
Yeah, but so what? It's not used, it's redundant with another (more widely
implemented, not must worse) feature, and it makes the spec more
complicated.
