The following snippet does not provide a working image map: 

<img src="http://www.manitoulin-island.com/side_column1.jpg" 
     width="144" height="432" 
     usemap="#Side Menus">
<map name="Side Menus">
<area shape="rect" coords="1,330,143,363" 
      href="http://www.manitoulin-island.com/chamber/alphabetical.html" 
   ..., etc.

The problem is that the URI for the usemap, and the name property of the <map>
are using a URI with an embedded space. This is bogus syntactically, but it 
is supported  in Nav4.x and IE. 

But, possibly this is WONTFIX.

mats@symsoft.se noted in the duplicate: "This is caused by the space in the map
name ("section map"). Remove that and it works fine. This has been fixed once
before, see bug 11453."

Marking WONTFIX. Allowing spaces in URIs causes lots of other bugs, and this is
just not that important and not that common.

I think my bug 95355 is caused by this one.
The evangelism bug I filed was marked as a duplicate of bug 87050.  That should
make this bug a duplicate of bug 87050 (rather than wontfix).
