When/If this happens it would be nice to see very clear precise 
details of how the relative values are to work (I can't seem to find 
them on current image maps).  By this I mean it should be clearly 
stated when calculating the absolutes from relatives, whether the 
values should be rounded up, down, or to the nearest (and what 
strategy).  It would also be helpful to know exactly how to determine 
whether a point is inside a region: should a specific circle 
algorithm be used, is the lower right side of the rectangle inside 
the rectangle?

I know this may seem a little odd, but the rounding and lower-right 
side of the rectangle makes a significant difference when areas are 
flush with other areas.
