670869 - Make textarea.wrap an enumerated attributes limited to only-known values

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Forms, defect, P5)

Description

[Mounir Lamouri (:mounir)]

For the moment, it's one of the few enumerated attributes that is not limited to only known value. We should see if we can make it limited to only known value without breaking the web.

Keep the "off" value in mind:

User agents are expected to apply the 'white-space' CSS property to textarea elements. For historical reasons, if the element has a wrap attribute whose value is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "off", then the user agent is expected to treat the attribute as a presentational hint setting the element's 'white-space' property to 'pre'.

We'll consider this if another browser wants to drive this.
