I got this exactly backwards.  Xalan *does* handle this correctly.  See this
thread in the archives:

http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200212/msg00790.html

And if the default namespace has a null URI, then Xalan does output a
separate close tag for <textarea>, as it should.

Sorry for any confusion on that point.
