[whatwg] WF 2.0 -- HTMLTextAreaElement [ type ] attribute

[Garrett Smith]

Regarding the [type] attribute:
================================================
interface HTMLTextAreaElement : HTMLElement {
           attribute DOMString       defaultValue;
  readonly attribute HTMLFormElement form;
           attribute DOMString       accessKey;
           attribute long            cols;
           attribute boolean         disabled;
           attribute DOMString       name;
           attribute boolean         readOnly;
           attribute long            rows;
           attribute long            tabIndex;
  readonly attribute DOMString       type;
================================================

What does the |type| attribute do?
