This is not a restriction for client side maps. They may be polygonal,
or circular.

If you can possibly avoid this test, do so. It is better to test whether
particular methods are defined. This sort of version test can fail for
browsers from a different supplier that still support the feature.

You should almost certainly return false here to prevent the link taking.
alt is a mandatory attribute.
Personally, I consider this to be as bad as one of the common dead link
alternatives to javascript: popup(..), in which onclick is used, but
the href is given as "#". Actually, area has a nohref attribute,
although I suspect it is really intended to cancel href within a sub-area.
However, you need to sure that there are non-audio alternatives.
This code will produce a large menu of dead links when accessed using
Lynx.
