There is a center tag around the textarea and this is causing the internal text 
to be centered. It appears it might be inheriting something it shouldn't. This 
is probably a regression.

since the form has a center element parent, marking this as invalid. The HTML 
4.0 DTD states the following:
<!ELEMENT CENTER - - (%flow;)* >
<!ENTITY % flow "%block; | %inline;">
<!ENTITY % inline "#PCDATA | %fontstyle; | %phrase; | %special; | %formctrl;">
<!ENTITY % formctrl "INPUT | SELECT | TEXTAREA | LABEL | BUTTON">

since form elements are legal within the CENTER element, this is rendering 
correctly

duh -- the form element would be centered not the content of the element --
reopening and assigning to Kin
