           Summary: Escaped elements within a textarea block can cause the
                    textarea box to be closed prematurely
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Forms
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: sean.dawson at gmail.com

Consider the following html document:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<textarea>
</textarea>
this text should still be in the textarea box!!
</textarea>
</body>
</html>

The escaped /textarea tag in the box should not close the textarea block, but
that is indeed what happens.

Many web development frameworks only escape the left angle bracket, and thus
this is an unavoidable problem.
