a specific capability or feature: should it be included? what details? should it be a requirement?

Capabilities & use cases for declarative map viewer widgets
The map should be announced, not only that it's an interactive map region, but what it depicts. The detail of that description should be up to the author, but I think location, scale, special content descriptions would be appropriate in many cases.
More detailed location content should actually be in the map and exposed to visual and non-visual users alike, as features.
