textarea in XMLForm not converted to true HTML textareas.

           Summary: textarea in XMLForm not converted to true HTML
                    textareas.
           Product: Cocoon 2
           Version: Current CVS
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: general components
        AssignedTo: cocoon-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: parrott@fas.harvard.edu


The xmlform2html.xsl stylesheet converts <xf:textarea> tag to <input
type="textarea"> tags instead of true <textarea> tags. This makes multiline
editing impossible (or at least a pain), since browsers seem to regard this as
just a textbox instead of textarea.
