That's not my point. "Users" in this context are the editors. The problem ist 
that you _must not_ create an empty textarea if you want to be able to use 
or even only edit it. 

I agree that it doesn't matter for the final form.

Interestingly, this is not what I see, when I use

  <map:serialize type="html"/>

in sitemap.xmap (in lenya 2.02).

Instead, I get this HTML code:

       <TABLE>
                <TR>
                  <TD valign="top">Thema:</TD>
                  <TD>
                    <TEXTAREA cols="60" name="thema" rows="3"></TEXTAREA>
                  </TD>
                </TR>
                <TR>
                  <TD>Zeitbedarf:<BR> (inkl. Diskussion)</TD>
                  <TD valign="top"> <INPUT name="zeit" type="text"> min.</TD>
                </TR>
                <TR>
                  <TD>Ben&ouml;tigt werden:</TD>
                  <TD>
                    <INPUT name="equipment" type="text">
                  </TD>
                </TR>
                <TR>
                  <TD colspan="2">(z. B. Beamer, Notebook mit Acrobat Reader, 
Tafel)</TD>
                </TR>
              </TABLE>
