because you have inserted an input tag of "type" image and name "map" inside
a form like so...

<form blah>
<input type="image" name="map" src="blah">
</form>

if you change the name to "img" you will get img.x and img.y, or if you take
away the name attribute completely you will get only x and y. But it is good
practice to "scope" your attributes, hence naming the input tag as "map" or
"img" insures you know where you x and why are coming from...
