Sorry, if the image_map type is NOT specified, then POV does expect the same
type as set for output (3.5.1.5.1  Specifying an Image Map).  However, you
can use ay allowable type as long as you explicitly specify the type (which
is a good habit to get into so you don't run into these types of problems)
