Details

See bug 11431 for the discussion about setting MAP {display:block;} for NS6 RTM.
See bug 56492 for a reduced test case based on the kia page.

The problem is <MAP> usually contains only <AREA>, and therefore usually doesn't
effect layout at all.  But by mapping it to display: block, we introduce two bad
side effects:
1) extra vertical white space
2) inappropriate line breaks

We need some logic in the source that scans the map's children and changes the
display type dynamically between block and none.  As a first step, the parser
can tell layout whether all the children of a <MAP> are <AREA> or not.  But we
need to handle the case where content is added/removed via the DOM as well.
marking future.  this won't happen for rtm.
