Actually, it looks like Neil deliberately removed it back in March:

  revision 1.17
  date: 2002/03/04 23:50:16;  author: nascheme;  state: Exp;  lines: +14 -15
  HTML cleanups with an eye on XHTML compliance.

(It was never removed from the docs though -- oops.)

I guess 'wrap' is not in the XHTML spec.  Too bad, it's useful for
browsers that support it.  Not all browsers do, unfortunately, so you
still have to magically divine where to break lines in a server-side.  Man, HTML forms suck.

Anyone care deeply whether TextWidget supports 'wrap' or not?  I'm
mildly in favour, and presumably Jon would vote +1 for his patch.
