You mean <input type=text multiple>? What would it mean, and what would 
be achieved? If it means that there is (somehow) an unlimited number of 
text input boxes, under the same name, distinguished with some index 
number, it could be used to input any number of text input lines. But 
<textarea> does that in a simpler manner (requiring different processing 
in form data handling, but not more complicated).
