As far as I can see, maxlength is a valid XHTML strict attribute, can anyone
tell me why this isn't validating?!

Not for textarea. Only for input.

From the x-html strict dtd...

<!ELEMENT textarea (#PCDATA)>     <!-- multi-line text field -->
<!ATTLIST textarea
 %attrs;
 %focus;
 name        CDATA          #IMPLIED
 rows        %Number;       #REQUIRED
 cols        %Number;       #REQUIRED
 disabled    (disabled)     #IMPLIED
 readonly    (readonly)     #IMPLIED
 onselect    %Script;       #IMPLIED
 onchange    %Script;       #IMPLIED
 >
