Dear HTML Working Group,

What happens if ismap is specified on an XHTML 2 document?

i.e.
<p href="a" src="map.xhtml2" ismap="ismap">
   Our location.
</p>

Is this invalid?  Or is the click relative to the rendered XHTML 2 document, 
if it's the rendered XHTML 2 document, what happens with links and forms in 
the underlying document, can they be activated?

Similar questions arise for all other non-image types, and image types which 
can contain hyperlinks.

Regards,

Jim Ley
