 Mouse position, and consequently coordinates (which is a function of the
 first) are not consistent. It varies between browsers and, more
 importantly in my opinion, it depends of the DOM structure above the DIV
 element that contains the map, namely on its parents and peers and their
 styles, or even the style of the map DIV itself in case of a border!

 This makes a more designed layout of the page containing the map, or the
 use of some fancy effects using some Javascript library like Scriptaculous
 (to create, for example, a draggable map container) a nightmare, and
 prohibits the reading of precise coordinates from mouse moves, which is
 something very important if you’re developing online technical tools.
