Fwd: The accessibility problems with image maps

Hello

Vision Australia submitted a comment in the most recent request for
comment regarding WCAG 2.0 (draft) about the inaccessibility of image
maps and that this does not appear to be addressed by WCAG 2.0.

I was requested to attempt to further clarify what the accessibility
issues with image maps are. I've attached a document that attempts to
do this.

Note that the document only attempts to clarify the accessibility
issues for those members working on this issue, and does not propose
solutions.

With regards,
Sofia
