Please try this codes in Firefox and try view source:

<textarea rows="14" cols="60">
wrong parsing:
<![CDATA[ The CDATA tag is incorrectly parsed. ]]>

should be:
&lt;![CDATA[ The CDATA tag is incorrectly parsed. ]]&gt;

wrong parsing:
<![ This tag is actually &lt;![ This tag ]&gt;, ok? ]>

should be:
&lt;![ This tag is actually &lt;![ This tag ]&gt;, ok? ]&gt;
</textarea>

As you can see, with <textarea> everything in a <![ ]> goes wrong even entities.
Is it a bug? If it is, please fix it. I'm not a good English writer, just excuse
me for I can't type too much, thank you!

I think this is wfm in current trunk build.
Reporter, could you please test with the nightly trunk build to verify this bug
is already fixed somehow?

Yes, it has been fixed in 1.6a1-win32 version, I'll test it on Linux version
later, but I don't have a mac machine. Thank you.
