Description Felix 2008-06-16 21:22:05 PDT 
<textarea><!--</textarea>--></textarea>
should create a textarea with the contents "<!--</textarea>-->",
and it does in firefox, ie, opera.

in safari/webkit, it creates a textarea with "<!--"
Comment 1 Collin Jackson 2008-06-16 22:51:29 PDT 
According to the HTML 5 spec, Firefox/IE/Opera are correct; the textarea should contain "<!--</textarea>-->".
