Using OmniGraffle for image maps

I'm documenting some systems, so I'm creating imagemaps for Web pages 
with OmniGraffle.

OmniGraffle is running into a bug with the way some browsers interprete 
the ordering of the image map co-ordinates. In IE, when two clickable 
boxes overlap each other, the first one listed takes precedence.

Would it be possible for OmniGraffle to use the layering or ordering in 
the diagram to control the order in which it writes the image map 
areas? Eg, instead of "for loop from first to last object", it could do 
"for loop in Z order".

Since lines are also active objects in OmniGraffle, could lines be 
included in the imagemap output? It may have to be a very skinny 
rectangle instead, but anything clickable would do! :)
