I think that this is a bad proposal for all of the reasons that we had a utter
mess with @alt in general a few months ago. Why should @alt for area describe
the destination? Why should/could it not describe the image being used for the
image map? Or something else entirely, such as, "please click the color that
you like the best?"
Furthermore, why *must* @alt be omitted for area without @href? Again, why
could it not simply be used to describe part of the image?
Folks, this topic keeps going around and around like a Canadian dime in a US
vending machine. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Either make a bunch
of granular attributes to *replace* @alt (such as @destination-description,
@long-description, @short-description, etc.), or stop trying to dictate the
contents of an immensely general attribute.
