I agree here. Either we should encourage to remove maps completely from img element or find a proper solution working without JS.

This is not possible for the very same reason we couldn’t extend the src-attribute. We would need to create a new attribute usemap-n="".
I find this an ugly solution. Still, not supporting usemaps attribute when a src-n attribute exists is also ugly.
Can someone find out if it would be possible to drop this attribute at all? There are enough better solutions like working with SVG for such maps.
I also think we should ensure every img attribute is somehow supported by src-N. Otherwise it’s not a good webstandard-solution. Partial support doesn’t sound bullet-proof which a webstandard spec should be IMO.
