form submit should apply CRLF textarea HTML value transformation for SimpleTextArea

[darth]

dijit.form.SimpleTextarea? stores the value with line feeds as a simple \n \r\n is eliminated and filtered out and left as \n.

While this is correct behavior, HTML spec states that on submit, the raw .value needs to be transformed to replace every \n with the correct \r\n.

Please see ian hickson's explanation. ​http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2011-January/029665.html

Spec ​http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-button-element.html#the-textarea-element

Test ​http://jsfiddle.net/Darth/kHZsE/ Enter multiple lines in the textarea Submit should happen with \r\n while raw .value should only have \n

Not sure I understand, the browser (user agent) is responsible for changing LF to CRLF since it handles form submit. What is the SimpleTextArea? widget doing incorrectly?

I attached a testcase showing that both programmatical values AND the submitted values of a native TEXTAREA and SimpleTextarea? widget are identical (tested using Chrome 13/Win7).
