(This is part of my detailed review of the Semantics and structure of HTML elements section.) The spec says about image maps: If the user agent intends to show the text that the img or input element represents, then it must use the following steps. Note: In user agents that do not support images, or that have images disabled, object elements cannot represent images, and thus this section never applies (the fallback content is shown instead). The following steps therefore only apply to img and input elements. I think it should apply when an <object> doesn't represent an image (perhaps regardless of what else it represents instead). Otherwise using image maps together with <object> is inherently inaccessible when images are disabled (unless the author jumps through hoops to duplicate the links as both <area> and <a> inside the object, which I don't think is realistic or particularly elegant). -- Simon Pieters Opera Software
