Quite interesting.  In Opera 11, scripted value changes (as in the attached testcase) on <textarea> allow defaultValue to override value, but if I edit the text in the textarea by typing (as in the original testcase I based mine on) then defaultValue changes don't affect value.  I wasn't expecting Opera to have a difference in behavior there.  None of the other three rendering engines involved seem to: WebKit shows "FAIL" in both scenarios, while Trident and Gecko show "PASS".

Note also that WebKit's behavior here is inconsistent for <textarea> and <input type="text">; the latter behaves as it does in Trident and Gecko.
