Comment:
The wrap attribute lacks the value "off", which is consistently supported by
major browsers and corresponds to the old default behavior, which is still
reflected in the HTML 4.01 Recommendation. Please add it and modify the
definition of  "soft" accordingly. Non-wrapping behavior cannot be
satisfactorily achieved with CSS, and this more about UI behavior (breaking
user input to lines) than mere styling.

Comment 1 Tab Atkins Jr. 2011-03-17 15:37:30 UTC 
The "off" value is a presentational value, and thus is handled by the Rendering section <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete/rendering.html#the-textarea-element-0> instead.
