no, I wouldn't say so. textarea seems to have become quite popular in
HTML online documentation. Apart from all the copy and paste stuff,
textarea can do a virtual wrap or give you a horizontal scroll bar. This
is nice if you have literal text with long lines that can or should not
be wrapped but should also not exceed you layout's horizontal limits.
I'd guess this is the main reason, why textarea is widely used to give
literal examples.

Nevertheless, the textarea block is certainly just a nice-to-have and
not an absolutely necessary killer-feature.
