shpxy and points

[Fawcett, David]

Does the shpxy method for creating imagemaps work for point layers?  

Does it respect the symbol size or a tolerance value?  

I am using MapServer 4.6.1 and when I try to return an image map using
shpxy, I get a geometry something like: 

<area shape="polygon" coords="80 103" 

instead of shape="circle"
