First of all, I like the Validator very much, and I use it to validate all of my web pages for valid XHTML. However, there is discrepancy that I have found. I have a form that is used to submit text to a database using PHP and Mysql. There is a textarea in the form, which allows me to input snippets of HTML for later retrieval by the database. The Validator failed XHTML validation on the page containing my database form because there was a "<br />" inside the textarea. This formatting using the "<br />" is required for retrieving poetry from the database. The Validator should allow any type of text, including HTML tags, between <textarea> and </textarea> on a form.
