Thanks Kent for clearing my doubt.

But here is another problem.
If we say wrapAttr as [Reflect] in idl, I have test case  where I specify wrap attr but no keyvalue like

<textarea wrap=> This is a simple text-area2 </textarea>

So in script if I do something like

var textArea = document.getElementsByTagName('textarea')[0];
alert(textArea.wrap);

As per spec ( section 4.10.13 The textarea element) it should return me SoftWrap but it returns nothing.

But as wrapAttr is enumerated attribute so as per this (2.8.1 Reflecting content attributes in IDL attributes) http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/urls.html#limited-to-only-known-values
this spec it should return "empty string if the attribute is in a state that has no associated keyword value" which is true in this case as there is no way to return default value.

Both these are contradicting with each other.

I think wrap attribute shouldn't be [Reflect] attribute and should have get/set methods for JS.

Kent/Ian Hickson 

Could you please guide me if I am wrong.
