Actually, on thinking about it, it seems to me that this would only really be appropriate if the MAP element only contains AREAs. After all, if it contains other elements then we will be rendering the alternative, textual version of the map somewhere else, so all bases will already be covered. If we render the menu based on both AREA and A elements, the menu is likely to have a lot of duplicate text, since each AREA is likely to have a respective A.
