The textarea formlet doesn't support setting those attributes right now. It should be straight-forward for you to do and me to commit the patch. Check out:
http://github.com/plt/racket/blob/master/collects/web-server/formlets/input.rkt and compare textarea-input to text-or-password and you should be able to do it fairly easily. If you submit a bug report, then it will be on my TODO list to get to eventually.
