I've updated hcard parsing to handle AREA for email, URL, and other
properties:

 http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-parsing

Note that since AREA is an empty element, the rules are slightly different
than for A.

Brian, let me know if you think this will be anything more than trivial for
X2V to implement.

As far as the MAP element is concerned, if folks want to explore how they
would use the MAP element in real world examples, I encourage you to do so,
and report back on your experience, much as Michael and Scott did with AREA.

Thanks,

Tantek
