Not necessarily, although it would have an effect on IE's whitespace bug.
A more normal procedure, for me, would be to have only the image in that
td - packed tightly, and place the map elsewhere where it didn't provoke
IE's bug.
I have instructed Tidy to remove any indentations and other whitespace
in my source-code, and it isn't only because I personally find
unindented source-code easier to read.
1: it results in images and other elements getting tightly packed in
their containers - whenever possible. Most whitespace problems in IE are
avoided then.
2: those phony tags-across-lines some use to avoid whitespace problems
on lists and such in IE are avoided - I find it easier to apply
controlled 'hasLayout' triggers to fix those cases.
What my Tidy does actually looks pretty much like your packed example -
which is fine with me. Most coders seem to prefer a more lined-up
source-code, but then one also have to keep IE's bugs and the effect of
rendering modes in mind while styling.
