[xsl] textarea bug?

[the matrix <matrxuk at yahoo dot co dot uk>]

I get the close textarea tag before the value. Is this
a bug or am I doing something wrong:

XML:
<TAREA name="comments" value="this is my comment"/>

XSL:
<xsl:template match="TAREA">
        <xsl:element name="textarea">
                <xsl:attribute
name="name"><xsl:value-of
select="@NAME"/></xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:element>
                <xsl:value-of select="@VALUE"/>
        <xsl:element name="/textarea"/>
</xsl:template>

here is the HTML output:

<textarea name="comments"></textarea>this is my comment
