Are there regions that cannot be described by a polygon? I don't think so. There are some pretty incredible regions at, for example, http://www.microsoft.com/usa/map.asp. (Mathematically, regions can be described with polygons). So 9.1 really says provide client-side image maps. That being said, I don't see the accessibility problem with the server side map at http://www.metrokc.gov/ (King Co., Washington) having, as it does, text links at the bottom. That organization even provides a kind of skip navigation technique.

I'm surprised at the following flub. When these techniques make their way into the HTML specific techniques, 7.4.4 should be removed as it contradicts 7.4.3. + Josh + 7.4.3 Client-side versus server-side image maps Checkpoints in this section: 9.1 Provide client-side image maps instead of server-side image maps except where the regions cannot be defined with an available geometric shape. [Priority 1] 7.4.4 Server-side image maps Checkpoints in this section: 1.2 Provide redundant text links for each active region of a server-side image map. [Priority 1]
