I do not agree, simply related to this suggestion: > The idea is to have an image load as a background from the CSS file > and then being able to select different clickable areas within it. CMIIW, but if you want to use the former background-image selector and put an image map on it, you will have the 'opportunity' to integrate other links in the same <td /> or <table /> or whatever element, and you will get a nice 'onehundredthousand overlapping links area'. Otherwise, add a (IMO) unnecessary comment to the WAI guidelines to not use overlapping links. I know this sounds a little bit overdone, but that's way I thought to pronounce it. I guess there are several proposals only bloating the CSS and XHTML specifications for too specific and maybe unnecessary needs. Feedback is appreciated.
