genshi

I encounter a problem in my web program. I got a textarea in my form, sometimes there is nothing in textarea, so genshi template engine just output it as

<textarea xxxx />

and here comes the problem, all following tags are in the textarea. Why all browser can't handle single textarea correctly?

If I write it as

<textarea xxxx></textarea>

and everything works fine. Why a single textarea messes following tags in xhtml?
