I am currently working on a solution which I find works pretty well, no hidden elements required, performance is very solid. It uses only the text area, and while it's not quite perfect (yet) because in IE you are limited to only very particular line-heights (still trying to work out a more elegant solution), I hope to debut that solution soon, but I can't at the moment as I am utilizing it in a project still in stealth mode. Also because I am a Mootools coder, it won't be something that would work in jQuery, although it could certainly be ported.
