The code sample for this is very simple:
<html>
<body>
<form>
<textarea/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Notice that Mozilla interprets all the HTML after the <textarea/> as the text of
the textarea box. As far as I know this is legal HTML, and the textarea should
be interpreted as closed.
I don't think that's valid HTML. Reporter: Do you have any source that proves
otherwise?

This HTML is equivalent to:
<html>
<body>
<form>
<textarea>>
</form>
</body>
</html>
(and yes, I know we do not parse it that way, but that's what the SGML rules say
it should be). This is patently not valid -- the <textarea> is not closed.
If this is XHTML being served as text/html, this is not valid because it
violates Appendix C.
If this is XHTML being served as text/xml or some other XML type, please reopen
the bug; in that case we have a problem.

This file is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict (according to the W3C validator), with a
<meta /> tag describing the Content-Type, and yet everything after the
<textarea /> tag appears inside the text area.

No, it doesn't. Just try loading the very file you attached:

Hmm, strange. It seems that <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" /> wasn't enough for the page to
be rendered as XHTML -- the attachment is displayed properly.

> wasn't enough for the page to be rendered as XHTML
The server-sent MIME type (if any) takes precedence over the <meta> tag. So
does the file extension if loading via file://

OK, I guess I should've used .xhtml for the extension instead of .html.
