Agreed. Providing more semantic information for the client to do
something useful with is a far better approach, and will allow for more
innovation.

(Also, in this situation, I don't really see why it's so much better to
have a dynamic map inside your email rather than a static image of the
map around your house, which when clicked takes you to a mapping website
for more interaction. Not everything has to happen in the email client…)
