I started doing this, but I couldn't come up with a realistic example, because
I couldn't work out when you would actually want to do this.

If images are enabled, then users would presumably just use the image map (and
<area> elements).

If images are disabled, then users would just be faced with the image map in
list form, generated from the <area> elements.

So when do they get exposed to the markup with <a> elements?

Sorry, I feel I'm just forgetting something today. Could someone explain how
the <a><area> thing would actually be used? Is it for cases where a user would
want to see both a textual version and the image map version? And if so, why
would a user ever want that?
