<map> is certainly allowed in XHTML, both Transitional and Strict.  It
is not, however, allowed to be a child of <table>.  For Transitional,
you can just close the table immediately before you open the <map>
element.  For Strict it would need to be put inside a block-level
container of some kind -- a <div> works nicely.
