One particularly wrong aspect of the original assumption is that in  
practice, a single <map> and all its <area>s can be used by multiple  
<img> elements. So representing focus of individual image map active  
areas by making the <area> node focused won't really work - it doesn't  
fit into the single focus ring model, since just focus on the <area>  
node doesn't tell you which image map is active.
