That also means that depending on the max-length, the attributes would have to guard their values against line breaks (that you can have in a text area and not in a text input)…. Not sure if that'd a real problem in practice…

what about c) add an additional metadata flag to the attribute definition that can be set for the attributes that must be represented in a text area.

Heiko, wont' we have the same question with other types of input (e.g. time input to represent timeout, etc.)
