[Maypole] AsForm and textarea

[Brian Glass]

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought I had checked that, but I guess

I did this update and it fixed my <textarea> problems but broke enums. I 
realized I was running with a patched AsForm as per the following:

Is there any thought (Simon?) to adding this patch (or something 
similar) to AsForm?
