This thread on the users ml identifies a problem with our XHTML serialization. We might be matching the standard, but with current browsers I do not know of any good work-arounds that do not mess with the data sent back and forth through things like <textarea />.
As J.Pietschmann already wrote on the users ml: it's probably only an issue of standard vs. quirks mode. Sending the correct Doctype + namespace should make these closed elements working as expected.
Should we try to solve this via either adding a new XHTML serializer or by parameterizing the current XML serializer? WDYT?
How do you want to solve this? Can you influence the serializing of an element? The serialization is done by Xalan! And AFAIK Xalan does the serialization correct for both HTML (start and end tag) and XHTML (closed tag).
