Current WebKit does, actually; see

Odd.  IE seems to do it in my testing.

Opera is sort of weird: it treats users typing and .value sets differently for
textarea (the only browser to do that, as far as I can tell).  See
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57636#c5

> ...but four browsers, four results.

Fwiw, current dev Chrome and current Firefox agree on that testcase, since that
WebKit bug was fixed.  So only 3 results now!  ;)  Though actually it's still
4, because IE9 Standards mode does one thing, while IE9 in IE8, IE7, and compat
modes does something else....

We'll get to interop sometime, I'm sure.

Thanks for making the change!
