Description:
------------
When creating text areas, default values containing umlauts or other
special chars force them to be rendered completely empty. 

Test script:
---------------
<?php
  require_once "HTML/QuickForm.php";

  $form = new HTML_QuickForm('register', 'post'); 
  $form->addElement('text', 't1', 'Text'); 
  $form->addElement('textarea','ta','Text area');
  $form->addElement('submit','sb','Submit form');

  $form->setDefaults(array("t1"=>"äöüß", "ta"=>"äöüß"));
  $form->display();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
text inputs and text area inputs showing äöüß as initial value

Actual result:
--------------
only text inputs showing äöüß as initial value
