I think Dave mentioned that background images could be a way to
implement image maps which seems to be a good idea.

A spreadsheet-like mode could color alternating lines differently
with a bg image.  (But this one could be done with faces, too, I
guess.)

One could draw pictures and put annotations on top of them with
text.  I think it would be useful to do something like this in word
processing style applications.
