Re: Image Map spec is incomplete. Any Gurus?

Using percentage coordinates for vector images is awkward. Perhaps 
adding an attribute to the AREA element that specifies the coordinate 
system used? Something like SYSTEM or COORD-SYSTEM?

  <AREA SYSTEM="pixel" COORDS="0,0,100,100">
  <AREA SYSTEM="percent" COORDS="0,0,100%,100%">
  <AREA SYSTEM="cartesian" COORDS="-1.0,-1.0,1.0,1.0">
  <AREA SYSTEM="vector" COORDS="0,0,1.0,1.0">

These could be easily implemented. If no system is defined, the browser 
could determine if the type is "pixel" or "percent". Eventually "polar" and 
various three-dimensional (cube, sphere) could be added.
