I'm missing the wrap="off" value for textarea wrap attribute; is there any
particular reason why this is not part of HTML5?
Currently the only values mentioned are "soft" and "hard":

The explanation is here.

In theory, you can achieve the same effect by using CSS.
textarea { white-space: nowrap; }
This works fine in Opera, WebKit and IE. Doesn't work in Gecko though.
That does seem odd. I would have thought the default value would be
'off' or 'no' as I've never seen a browser yet wrap text in a textarea
unless a specific wrapping method was specified either via an attribute
or CSS.
Netscape 4 was the last browser I'm aware of that defaulted to that
wrap=off behaviour. I believe every other mainstream browser I'm aware
of since then wraps by default.
