textbox vs. textarea

it'll be in the next version of the spec.
We went back and forth on this as a group --
the reasoning was  that whether something was shown in a
window 1 line high and 30 characters wide vs 
3 lines and 80 chars was a presentation/style attribute.

We've however concluded after examining this issue further
that there is more than presentation when the author says
<<textarea>
for instance it's conveying the semantics that the author
expects the user to type in more than a few characters
--thus helping to distinguish the body of an email from its
headers.

The version of the UI draft therefore calls these controls 
<input> and <textarea>
