Possible Bug in html()

Possible Bug in html()

Hi,
I was trying to transform a input DOM in textarea DOM.
However, I am running in a problem:
  1. >>>$("<textarea>").html("<textarea>").get(0).outerHTML
  2. "<textarea>&lt;textarea&gt;</textarea>"
  3. >>>$("<textarea>").html("</textarea>").get(0).outerHTML
  4. "<textarea></textarea>"
As can you see, the line 4 isn't the excepted.(for me at least)
I was expecting:
  1. "<textarea>&lt;\textarea&gt;</textarea>"
Is this a Bug? Or is something that I am
