AREA needs: %attrs; -- id, class, style, lang, dir -- rel CDATA #IMPLIED -- forward link types -- rev CDATA #IMPLIED -- reverse link types -- ID is essentially NAME, and comments should indicate that for A and LINK. (i.e., NAME should be obsoleted, but accepted as a synomym for ID in old markup which used NAME, as was the case in the HTML 3.0 draft). CLASS, STYLE, LANG and DIR are needed for handling of the ALT and TITLE attributes. Also, MAP should have a TITLE attribute, so you don't have to pass it from every IMG or OBJECT which uses the MAP (e.g., if you have MAPs collected into a distinct document), and %i18n for handling that TITLE when used for a textual presentation of links because image loading is off or not available.
