There is an apparent inconsistency between the guidelines concerned with image maps. One can not both require that client-side maps be used, and then provide an alternative in the event that server-side maps are needed. By definition, the "required" classification in this context would preclude the use of server-side maps altogether. Perhaps an alternative would be: (1) Required: either make the image map accessible or provide a textual alternative. Recommended: use client-side maps. Required: if server-side maps must be used ... Also, the document as a whole needs to be proofread and edited for grammar and style. It contains a number of obvious errors which have probably resulted from the many rounds of revision which the text has undergone. I know from personal experience that elementary mistakes can easily arise during the editing of a document and that careful proofreading is the best means of identifying them.
