It seems to be that the browser interpretes the first matching field, he
can find. That means:

100,100,200,200
120,120,190,190
will never see the area in 1200,120,190,190.

120,120,190,190
100,100,200,200
in this case the area 120,120,190,190 will be interpreted correctly.

This beahvior is only a TEST!!! Netscape is doing it like this, and I
have also seen this beahvior on Server-Sided immagemaps.

(I think it is easier to implement like this)
