Consider adding support for stretched, wrapped text in a <textArea>

State:
OPEN

Description:
A common text layout design is for each line of text in a block to be resized so that it exactly fits the width of the block. The following example (which works in Opera) shows a crude hack to get something close to the design I'm thinking of:

It doesn't exactly work, since it seems simply scaling the font-size doesn't always result in a linear increase in the width the text will take up. Also, the leading between each line doesn't look nice; not sure if the line-increment helps here.
