And is that text supposed to be treated as PRE?

MSIE doesn't correctly strip a newline after <PRE>, so that given this:

  <TEXTAREA NAME="Comments" COLS=40 ROWS=3>
  Some text here that was added by a CGI script that
  requires data replacement tags to be the only
  element on the line.
  </TEXTAREA>

The text will begin on the second line of the text box.
