removing beta1 keyword so it doesn't show up on beta1 radar

This problem actually appears to be that getAttribute('value') and .value don't agree on the same value. Browsing through the code, it is probably because nsHTMLTextAreaElement::SetValue (in layout) does not call SetAttribute and thus setting .value has only a visible effect without changing the underlying property. (Then again, I don't fully understand the code) Attached a new testcase demonstration the difference between getAttribute and .value
