But I think it is supported. Doesn't the "%events" mean common events are
allowed? This validates both transitional and Strict. Am I missing something?

<div>
<map name="mymap">
<area href="http://www.google.html"
onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com');
return false;"
alt="yadda" coords="0,0,200,200">
</map>
<img src="map.gif" alt="yadda" usemap="#mymap">
</div>
