Comment 5 for bug 98371

I'm not sure that the "must be ignored" applies to processing form
input: I think that the rest of the section applies to how the
element is *rendered* (i.e. on output). E.g., it specifies that
paragraphs delimited by <p> tags must render identically whether
they have newlines immediately after the begin tag or or
immediately before the end.

I don't think that it is desirable to have the backend strip such
newlines from user input, as a general rule.

This is particularly acute because textarea widgets are used to
enter text which is *not* HTML markup (e.g., structured /
restructured text, pasting diffs, etc.). in such cases stripping
*anything* to conform with the HTML spec is nonsensical.

(BTW, I modified the *real* content type for the patch, available
only through the ZMI, so that it renders correctly now).
