Anne, I happened to be reading your web site today,
and I was disturbed to find the following :
> <input usemap>
> [...]
> Ian Hickson made two data sets available: 1, 2. Looking through
> several sites quickly reveals that most expect the image control
> to act as a submit button (this is how it works in Internet
> Explorer) and not as an image map at all (how it works in
> Opera and Firefox). As a result, HTML5 dropped the feature.
Given that this group has not even agreed the Design Principles
yet, let alone started to make firm decisions concerning the
HTML 5 Specification, is it not somewhat irresponsible of you
to make a public statement that a certain feature has been
dropped from HTML 5 ?
