I noticed that in the XMLForm example that one could not hit return and
have a multiline message in the additional notes textarea. Looking into
it, and working on related things in which I need a textarea, I see that
the xmlform2html.xsl converts <xf:textarea> to an input field, and not a
true textarea. I don't think that this is correct; without the "style"
attribute it defaults to a textbox.
The below mods to xmlform2html.xsl replace the textarea template with one
that actually creates a real textarea.
I think that this is the right thing to do here.

PS: I've modified the Form class to now support basic Maps as well as DOM
and Beans; I think that having this modification would be very helpful for
quick & dirty solutions, and for in-development projects, because one can
get data from an XMLForm into the map without creating nodes or a javabean
ahead of time.
Are you interested in patches?
