Indeed, use of the ALT tag in MAP AREA elements is also supported in text mode
browsers such as Lynx and is of great importance to non-graphical and vision
impaired users.

I haven't tried this specifically with FP, but MapTHIS! 1.3 can edit CSIMs in place
in HTML files and may be a good solution for maintaining the CSIM embedded in an FP
"Insert HTML" area.
