Since you can get the actual image into a viewer, and get an idea of the
XY to return, it would help if the ISMAP would popup a box where the
values could be entered, maybe something like forms handling, since the x
and y are appended to the URL, e.g. x.y.z/mapdest?12,34 - currently the
?12,34 is missing.  This could also be done for input images in forms (but
with a different syntax).  USEMAPs could be handled as numbered links or
like select/option fields. 

I am attacking other things at the moment, but this is how I suggested it
could be handled.
