Fair enough, this must be a legitimate difference in our HTML export,
I'll make the test appropriately more permissive.

Yes, very enlightening.  It means that the server-side and Emacs Lisp
side are working as expected.  However, for some reason, when you hit
[SAVE] the information submitted by your browser includes an empty text
field (this is the "org" pair above).

This must be a JavaScript issue related to some difference between
browsers.  Can I ask, what browser you are using?  I've done all of my
testing with browsers in the Firefox family (Firefox and conkeror).

Thanks!
