There's no reason an existing textarea couldn't offer this. Indeed I 
once spent about 10 minutes failing to implement this is Mozilla using 
XBL (not terribly useful I know - I seem to remember having a hard time 
attaching a -moz-binding to a html element - but I barely know any XBL 
so it might be trivial).

The format would have to be specified by the server rather than the 
client since there's no reason to suspect a server with, say, an XML 
workflow could accept HTML.
