Brian,

Hmmm, tough one. The only patch that comes to mind is
something like filtering the display value of the page
through something like:

=~ s/<\/textarea>/<\/CLOSING TEXTAREA>/gi;

(add the usuall checking for spaces in the tag etc....)

Then you MUST reverse filter the submitted form to replace the tag like:

=~ s/<\/CLOSING TEXTAREA>/<\/textarea>/gi;

The only other choice is too make a User/Global Tag that would allow you to 
use:

[textarea arg="rows=4 name=Questions cols=60 wrap=VIRTUAL"]
[value Questions]
[/textarea]

to output what you need when parsed, then when viewed IN a textarea field,
there won't be a problem..... you'll see the above tag.
